A refreshing dessert combining the tangy zest of lemons with the juicy sweetness of fresh strawberries, featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, luscious lemon cream filling, and vibrant strawberry topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 can (14 oz, 396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup (120ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • ¾ cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the lemon cream filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. Let it cool to room temperature.
  6. Once the filling is set, spoon the cooled strawberry topping over the lemon cream layer. Spread it out evenly.
  7. Refrigerate the pie for another hour before serving to ensure it’s perfectly chilled. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use fresh lemons and ripe strawberries. Chill the pie thoroughly to ensure the filling sets properly. If short on time, a store-bought graham cracker crust and pre-made whipped cream can be used.
