Ingredients For Lemon Ice Box Pie

• Graham Cracker Pie Crust: If you are short on time, you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust or make your own with graham cracker crumbs. Here's How to Make Graham Cracker Crust.
• Eggs: These give the pie its structure.
• Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice is best, but bottled lemon juice also works.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk: This adds sweetness and a creamy texture.
• Vanilla Extract: You don’t need much to add to the flavor.

How to Make Lemon Pie

I like using a clear large bowl for this recipe because it helps me see when all of the ingredients have been mixed together well. This isn’t required, but it is helpful. Add eggs, condensed milk, and a splash of vanilla to your bowl.

Next, pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and whisk everything together until it’s perfectly blended. Pour the mixture into the pie crust in the 9-inch pie plate. Place the pie in the freezer for 12 hours. The wait will be worth it, I promise!

When you're ready to enjoy this no-bake pie, let it thaw for a few minutes, then dive right in!

Tips for Making Frozen Lemon Pie

Tip 1: Whisk the pie batter until smooth. You don’t want any lumps in the mixture before pouring it into the pie crust.

Tip 2: Let the pie thaw for a few minutes before serving to make cutting easier.

Tip 3: To make slices easy to cut, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry before cutting each slice. This will help you get neat, smooth cuts.

Best Pie Crust For Lemon Pie

While a graham cracker crust is the traditional choice, there are other yummy options that will work. A cookie crust can add sweetness and crunch, which pairs well with the lemon filling.

A classic pre-baked pastry crust will give this dessert a flaky, buttery texture. Feel free to experiment with different crusts for some yummy results.

How Do I Store Lemon Ice Box Pie?

You can store the Lemon Ice Box Pie in the freezer for up to a month. You want to be sure that the pie is covered tightly with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. This will help it to maintain its flavor and texture, allowing you to enjoy a delicious treat even after several weeks.

When you're ready to serve it, just let it thaw for a few minutes and enjoy!

Can I Make No-Bake Pie Ahead Of Time?

You can certainly prepare this pie in advance, which makes it the perfect dessert for hectic times. You can make it up to a month ahead of time, which means it will be ready to serve without any last-minute stress. This way, you can focus on other things or even just relax, knowing that a delicious dessert is already taken care of.
