Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Lemon Cream Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and sour cream until smooth.
  2. Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and sour cream for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add fresh lemon juice until the filling thickens slightly.
  3. Pour the lemon filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top. Bake for 6-8 minutes, watching closely.
  4. Cool the pie at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to firm up.
  5. Beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Spread the whipped cream topping over the chilled lemon filling and garnish with lemon zest if desired. Cut into slices and serve.
