Making a No Bake Lemon Pie is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.

2. Mix Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

3. Add Sugar and Lemon: Gradually add granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

4. Incorporate Condensed Milk: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.

6. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture, being careful to maintain the lightness of the whipped cream.

7. Fill the Crust: Pour the lemon filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.

8. Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

9. Garnish: Before serving, garnish with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves if desired.

This step-by-step guide ensures that your No Bake Lemon Pie comes out perfectly every time!
