Notes

Nutrition calculated without additional garnishes.

Crush Graham Crackers Easily: Place them in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush into fine crumbs.
Zest Before Juicing: Always zest your lemons before squeezing out the juice.
Use Fresh Lemons: Fresh lemon juice and zest give the best flavor compared to bottled juice.
Chill the Crust: Freezing the crust while making the filling helps it set better.
Avoid Lumps: Whisk the pudding mix thoroughly to prevent lumps in the creamy filling.
