A creamy lemon filling topped with berries and nestled in a graham cracker crust is the perfect no bake pie for spring and summer. Refreshing, delicious and fun!
In a large sauce pan toss 3 cups mixed berries with 4 Tablespoons granulated sugar and 4 Tablespoons cornstarch.
Stir in 4 Tablespoons lemon juice and 2 Tablespoons water.
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to the texture of pudding.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Filling
Beat 8 oz cream cheese until smooth.
Add 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk a little bit at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue to whip until smooth and creamy.
Stir in ¼ cup lemon juice. Add some lemon zest or a teaspoon of lemon extract if you would like a stronger lemon flavor.
Spoon into 1 9 inch graham cracker crust and chill.
When the berry mixture is at room temperature, spread over chilled lemon filling. Put back in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours, a longer chill time will help the filling set up. Serve cold.
Notes
*I used frozen mixed berries this time, I have also used half blueberries and half strawberries. You can also use fresh fruit if you have it on hand. Feel free to mix your favorite berries to get about 3 cups.
