Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• ½ cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 cup fresh raspberries

How to Make Layered Creamy Citrus Pie

1. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, mixing until well combined.
3. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. Pour half of the creamy citrus mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.
5. Once the first layer has set, pour the remaining citrus mixture on top and smooth it out. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
6. Before serving, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the pie.
7. Garnish with fresh raspberries, arranging them decoratively on top of the whipped cream. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending.
• Allow the pie to set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to achieve the perfect texture.
• For a more intense citrus flavor, you can add a bit more lemon or orange zest.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the raspberries with other berries like blueberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a layer of lemon curd or orange curd in between the creamy layers for an extra citrus punch.
• Use a chocolate cookie crust instead of a graham cracker crust for a chocolatey twist.

What to Serve With It

• Freshly brewed coffee or tea
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• A light fruit salad
• Lemon sorbet for an additional citrus kick
