- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 medium lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). If making your own crust, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press into a pie pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the crust cools, whisk together sugar and eggs until smooth. Add lemon juice and mix until combined.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake for 20-25 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for about an hour before chilling in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
- Just before serving, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form and top each slice with whipped cream.
