Ingredients
1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
¼ cup melted butter
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large egg whites
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp grated lemon zest
Instructions
Process graham crackers in a food processor until fine
Mix with melted butter and brown sugar until cohesive
Press mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring corners are filled
Chill crust for 30 minutes
In a bowl, whisk granulated sugar, egg whites, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until pale
Slowly drizzle in heavy whipping cream while whisking
Add 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice and 2 tbsp lemon zest; blend until smooth and glossy
Pour filling over chilled crust
Chill for 4-6 hours before serving
Notes
Line the pie dish with parchment paper for easier removal
For a nut-free version, omit any almond slivers in toppings
Substitute graham crackers with vanilla wafers or oat crackers for dietary needs
Use coconut milk or vegan whipped cream for a non-dairy option
Yuzu zest or orange zest can replace lemon zest for flavor variety
