Instructions
- Set out a 9-inch pie pan and a food processor. Place the graham crackers in the food processor. Lock the lid into place and pulse into a fine crumb. Then add in the melted butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse to combine.
- Dump the graham cracker crumble into the pie pan. Use your hands to press it into an even layer over the bottom of the pan and up the sides. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
- Wipe out the food processor bowl. Then add in the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and lemon zest. Puree until smooth. Pour/scoop the filling into the pie crust and continue to refrigerate.
- In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth. Then fold in the Cool Whip. Spread the topping over the lemon pie filling and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, undisturbed.
- When ready to serve, cut into pieces while frozen. Let each piece sit out at room temperature for 10 minutes, then serve slightly softened. Garnish with lemon sliced if desired.
