Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and clear space in the freezer.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the lined pan to form an even crust. Set aside.

- Freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Notes
- For the cleanest slices, dip your knife in warm water before cutting.
- Freeze overnight for firmer texture and better flavor melding.
