Cup of Yum
Lemon Filling
- In a large bowl whisk the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk.
- In a separate large bowl beat the egg yolks and lemon zest until frothy and lighter in color.
- Then gently mix in the sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice.
- Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top looks set and there's a slight wobble in the middle.
- Allow to cool at room temperature, then chill in the fridge or freezer for at least 6 hours to set.
- Top with whipped cream to serve.
Notes
- STORE. Once the Lemon Icebox Pie recipe is completely cool, wrap it in plastic and store it in the fridge for about 5 days.
- FREEZE. To store it in the freezer, wrap it again with foil. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw a bit before serving.
