- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the margarine or butter. Blend them until you achieve a homogeneous mixture.

- Bake the Base:
- Preheat your oven to a low setting and place the pie base in for about 5 minutes just to set it.
- Create the Filling:
- In a blender, combine the juice of the lemon, condensed milk, and cream. Blend until smooth and combined.
- Fill the Pie:
- Pour the lemon filling into the baked biscuit base and return it to the oven for another 5 minutes.
- Cool and Chill:
- Let the pie cool at room temperature, then place it in the fridge for a couple of hours to firmly set.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, you're ready to slice! Decorate with whipped cream, lemon zest, or additional cookie pieces if desired.
