Time 2h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 graham crackers
1/3 cup salted butter, melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup lemon curd
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup blackberries
1/4 cup raspberries
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1/3 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Break the graham crackers, add them to a food processor and process to fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and granulated sugar and process until well combined; the texture should be that of dry sand.
  • Using the back of a measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into a 9-inch round pie dish. Put the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake until slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool while making the filling.
  • For the filling: In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff. Set aside.
  • To a clean mixing bowl, add the lemon curd, cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk and beat until smooth. Gently fold 3/4 cup of the whipped cream into the lemon curd mixture until combined.
  • Pour the filling into the cooled pie shell. Top with the remaining whipped cream and use the back of a spoon to spread it and make peaks. Freeze, uncovered, for at least 2 hours. (If storing longer, after 2 hours in the freezer remove, cover and return to the freezer. Store for up to 48 hours in advance. If freezing overnight or longer, remove from the freezer 10 to 12 minutes before slicing.)
  • For serving: If desired, top with the blackberries, raspberries and mint. Dust with powdered sugar.

Sweet Lemon Icebox Pie image

This is, without a doubt, one of the quickest and easiest pie recipes I have tried. EVERYONE loves it, and I usually need to make a few because they are eaten so quickly. Best of all they are *almost* FAT FREE!! 8)

Provided by OceanIvy

Categories     Pie

Time 3m

Yield 5-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

vanilla wafer cookie (round)
1 (14 ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 (8 ounce) container fat-free cool whip

Steps:

  • Mix condensed milk and lemon together well.
  • Line a pie plate with wafer cookies, up sides as well.
  • Pour mixture over cookie wafers.
  • Add Cool Whip on top.
  • Refrigerate until pie is firm and serve!

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons have a brighter, more tangy flavor than bottled lemon juice. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can substitute bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use 1/2 cup less sugar, as bottled lemon juice is already sweetened.
  • Chill the pie before serving: This will help the pie set and make it easier to cut. You can chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Serve the pie with fresh berries: Fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, are a delicious and refreshing topping for lemon icebox pie. You can also serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Lemon icebox pie is a classic Southern dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, tangy filling and buttery graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and delicious dessert, give lemon icebox pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
