Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Cream the Base: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add the Zest: Incorporate the sour cream and lemon juice into the cream cheese mixture, mixing until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Fold in the Fluff: Gently fold the whipped topping into the mixture to maintain its light and creamy texture without deflating it.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the creamy filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust and smooth the surface evenly with a spatula.
- Add Crunch: Sprinkle shredded coconut and chopped pecans over the top if using, adding a delightful crunch and flavor contrast.
- Chill Out: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.
- Serve and Savor: Once chilled and set, slice the pie into servings and enjoy it cold for the best taste and texture.
Notes
Serve with fresh berries or vanilla ice cream. Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
