Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of room-temperature cream cheese and ⅔ cup of granulated sugar together using a hand mixer on medium speed for about 2–3 minutes.
- Once fluffy, add 1 cup of full-fat sour cream, ½ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Continue beating until smooth, approximately another minute.
- In a separate bowl, whip ¾ cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the lemon mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour the creamy filling into your prepared graham cracker pie crust and smooth the top evenly.
- Transfer the pie to the freezer and let it chill for at least 4 hours to firm up.
- After setting, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before slicing; top with extra whipped cream if desired.

Notes
Prepare the pie a day in advance and use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Ensure room temperature ingredients are used to avoid a grainy texture.
