Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust
  • 1⅔ cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Lemon Pie Filling
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 4-6 lemons
  • 8 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

Graham Cracker Crust
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl stir the graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
  3. Press into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate to form the crust. Then pop it in the freezer as you make the filling.
Lemon Filling
  1. In a large bowl whisk the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk.
  2. In a separate large bowl beat the egg yolks and lemon zest until frothy and lighter in color.
  3. Then gently mix in the sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice.
  4. 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.
  5. Allow to cool at room temperature, then chill in the fridge or freezer for at least 6 hours to set.
  6. 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.
