Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl until combined.
- Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of six small serving cups or ramekins. Place the cups in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon or pipe the lemon filling evenly over the crusts in the prepared cups.
- Chill the cups for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Garnish with extra lemon zest before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute vanilla wafers for the graham crackers if you prefer a different crust flavor.
- For a firmer set, use only half of the whipped topping in the filling and reserve the other half for topping before chilling.
- Make these cups up to one day ahead for easy party preparation.
