Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Crust:
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter together in a bowl; stir until all crumbs are evenly moistened and there are no large lumps. Press crumbs evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch deep dish pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes.
Filling:
Whisk together lemon juice, eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a medium sized heavy bottomed saucepan. Whisk until eggs are completely broken up and incorporated.
Place over medium heat; cook, stirring or whisking constantly, until mixture thickens. Don't boil, just cook until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes. Turn heat down a little toward the end to prevent curdling.
Strain mixture through a mesh sieve into a bowl to get rid of any little lumps of cooked egg. Whisk in the condensed milk, making sure everything is evenly combined. Pour into the crust. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 6 hours or overnight.
Topping:
Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla until thick; dollop over the chilled pie. Dust with graham cracker crumbs; garnish with lemon slices or lemon zest, if desired.
Top pie with the whipped cream right before serving.
8-10 servings.
