Description
A cool, creamy Lemon Icebox Pie made with sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and a graham cracker crust. No baking required—just mix, chill, and serve this refreshing citrus dessert.
Ingredients
2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
A few drops yellow food coloring (optional)
Whipped cream and/or lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, whisking until the mixture thickens slightly.
-
If you’d like a more vibrant yellow color, add a drop or two of yellow food coloring and stir gently.
-
Pour the lemon filling into the graham‑cracker crust, smoothing the top evenly.
-
Cover the pie and chill—either refrigerate overnight or freeze for at least 4 hours.
-
When ready to serve, slice into pieces. If frozen solid, let the pie sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes to soften slightly.
-
Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a slice of lemon, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For best texture, thaw frozen pie 15–20 minutes before serving.
