Method
Crust
Prepare the crust
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter.
Mix and press
Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
Filling
Prepare the filling
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, egg yolks, and lemon zest until smooth.
Pour filling into crust
Pour the lemon filling into the cooled graham cracker crust.
Bake the pie
Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set but still has a slight jiggle in the center.
Cool and refrigerate
Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before serving.
Topping
Make the whipped cream
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
Add lemon zest
Gently fold in the lemon zest into the whipped cream.
Top the pie
Spread the whipped cream mixture over the chilled lemon filling before serving.
