Servings: 16 pieces
Cost: $10
Equipment
- 1 9x9 pan
Ingredients
- 3 8-ounce cream cheese softened
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- ¼ cup lemon zest
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 12-16 graham crackers
Instructions
- Whip the heavy whipping cream, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to stiff peaks. Set this aside.
- Mix the softened cream cheese, 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice in another medium-size bowl until they are smooth.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add a layer of graham crackers to the bottom of your 9x9 or 8x8 pan. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture. Continue alternating the layers. I did 4 layers of graham crackers and 4 layers of filling. However, I really like graham crackers. If you want more filling, only use 3 layers.
- I topped mine with crushed graham crackers. You could also use more lemon zest for topping or even sliced lemons.
- Move the pan to the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
