Why This Easy Lemon Cream Pie Beats All Those Other Recipes

If you’ve tried making lemon desserts before, you might have some kitchen PTSD:

The Secret Behind This Magical Easy Lemon Cream Pie

So what makes this easy lemon cream pie so darn good? It’s all about that genius combo of ingredients! The cream cheese brings richness and structure (no more soupy pies!), the sour cream adds that subtle tang that makes you keep coming back for more, and the sweetened condensed milk brings sweetness while creating that to-die-for silky texture.

Just a quick trip to the oven helps everything set up perfectly without cooking away that fresh, zingy lemon flavor we’re all here for. After chilling, your lemon cream pie transforms into a slice of creamy citrus heaven that’ll have everyone begging for the recipe.

  • Try a cookie crust instead of graham crackers, or if you’re feeling extra lazy use storebought graham cracker crust (in which case this recipe makes 2 pies!)
  • Add some fresh berries on top for extra flavor

  • 1/4 cup ( 50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 5 tbsp (70 g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, add graham crackers, sugar, and salt and whisk until well combined. Add melted butter and mix until you have a wet-sand like texture. Pour the crumbs into a pie plate and use your hands or a flat-bottom measuring cup to press the crumbs into the sides and bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake the crust for 8 minutes and then cool completely.
  3. To make the filling, add sour cream, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk into a large mixing bowl. Mix for 3 minutes, or until completely smooth. Add lemon juice, salt and vanilla and mix for 2 minutes. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and use a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Cool the pie completely before chilling for at least 4 hours, overnight is best.
  5. When ready to serve, top with whipped cream, lemon wedges, edible flowers, or sprinkles. Decorate it however you like! Serve while chilled.

Notes

If you use a store-bought graham cracker crust, half the filling OR make 2 pies. Bake time is the same.
