Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip
  • 9 inch graham cracker crust

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk until well blended. Lightly fold in 1/2 of the container of Cool Whip (4 ounces) until smooth and creamy. Pour into the graham cracker crust.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the center has set and is mostly firm.
  • Top with the remaining Cool Whip and serve. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for 5-7 days.

Notes

Helpful tips:
  • Homemade graham cracker crust or whipped topping can be used in place of premade.
  • The pie will become slightly runny after a few days in the refrigerator.
  • Make ahead and store in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days or in the freezer up to one month.
  • Be sure to save the plastic covering that comes with the crust. Flip it over to make it into a dome shape and pinch the aluminum sides so that it becomes the perfect top to cover the pie.
*Nutritional values and cook times vary due to differences in cookware and product brand selection.
