Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes), scraping down the sides as needed.
Add the sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until smooth and lump-free.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated and airy.
Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top.
Transfer the pie to the freezer and let it set for at least 4 hours.
Before serving, top with extra whipped cream if desired, slice, and enjoy.
Notes
Make sure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother filling.
Fresh lemon juice is highly recommended for the best flavor.
For a firmer texture, freeze overnight.
Let the pie sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before slicing for easier serving.
