This lemon pie is not only a delicious dessert but also incredibly simple to make. With a crisp, buttery crust and a creamy, tangy filling, it’s sure to impress your friends and family.

Classic Lemon Icebox Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ¾ cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Additional lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish to form the crust.
  3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
  5. Once the crust has cooled, pour the lemon filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  6. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. The longer it chills, the better the flavors meld.
  7. Before serving, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together in a medium bowl until soft peaks form.
  8. Add the whipped cream on top of the chilled pie, spreading it evenly. You can also use a piping bag for a decorative touch!
  9. For added flair, garnish with lemon slices or zest if desired, and serve cold.

Enjoy each refreshing slice of this Classic Lemon Icebox Pie. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser and perfect for summer gatherings or as a light dessert after a hearty meal. Happy baking!
