EASY AND QUICK CAKE RECIPE
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 Graham cracker crust (9-inch, store-bought or homemade) 🍪✨
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk 🍯
- ½ cup Fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons) 🍋
- 1 tsp Lemon zest (for that extra zing!) ✨
- 1 tub (8 oz) Whipped topping (like Cool Whip) or 2 cups stiffly whipped cream ☁️
- Optional: Extra whipped cream and lemon slices for garnish as seen in the photo! 🍋👑
👩🍳 Instructions
- The Zesty Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and slightly thickened. 🥣🌪️🍋
- The Fluff Factor: Gently fold in about half of the whipped topping using a spatula. Once combined, fold in the rest. (Folding gently keeps the pie light and airy!) ☁️🤝
- Fill the Crust: Spoon the creamy lemon mixture into your graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth out the top or create beautiful swirls as seen in the photo! 🥧🥄📐
- The Big Chill: Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2–4 hours (or overnight) to allow it to set firmly. ⏲️❄️
- Garnish & Serve: Before serving, top with extra dollops of whipped cream and a few fresh lemon slices. Slice it up and watch it disappear! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Real” Secret: Use fresh lemons instead of bottled juice! The natural oils in the zest and the brightness of fresh juice make a massive difference in flavor. 🍋🛡️💎
- Perfect Slices: For clean, beautiful slices, dip your knife in warm water and wipe it dry between every single cut! 🔪🧼🎯
