How to Make Frozen Lemon Torte

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  2. Make the lemon filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice, beating until light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the whipped cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Assemble and freeze: Pour the lemon filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top and cover the pan with plastic wrap.
  5. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
  6. Serve: Before serving, let the torte sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to slightly soften. Release from the springform pan and slice into wedges. Garnish with fresh berries or lemon zest (optional).
