📝 Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (2-3 large lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest ((optional))
  • 1 lemon (sliced)
  • 1 cup homemade whipped cream

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Line the bottom and the sides of a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper, or use a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. 2For the crust, melt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Add 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and stir until combined.
  3. 3Press the mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan. Use a measuring cup to pat press down the crumbs. Refrigerate until the filling is ready.
  4. 4In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 8 oz mascarpone cheese at low-medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  5. 5Add 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk slowly and beat into the mascarpone until smooth and well mixed.
  6. 6Add the ¾ cup heavy whipping cream and mix until combined.
  7. 7Slowly add ½ cup lemon juice to the mixture while beating at low-medium speed. The mixture will start to thicken and get creamy. Mix until thick, then stir in 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  8. 8Pour into prepared pan and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm. Garnish just before serving.
