INGREDIENTS
CRUST:

  •  1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (1 package, 13 rectangle graham crackers)
  •  2 tablespoons brown sugar
  •  6 tablespoons butter, melted

LEMON FILLING:

  •  2 cans (14-ounces each) sweetened condensed milk, about 2 1/2 cups
  •  3 large egg yolks
  •  2/3 cup lemon fresh lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
  •  Pinch salt

WHIPPED TOPPING:

  •  2 cups heavy whipping cream
  •  1/4 cup powdered sugar
  •  1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  •  Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. For the crust, combine all the ingredients together in a small bowl and stir until the graham cracker crumbs are evenly moistened; the mixture will look like wet sand.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and all the way up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes until just lightly golden.
