Time 8h

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

14 graham crackers, broken
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 1/4 cups fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons lemon zest, finely grated (remember to zest before you juice!)
8 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers with the sugar and salt until finely ground but not powdery. Add the butter and pulse until the crumbs are evenly moistened; transfer to a 9-inch springform pan and press into the bottom and two-thirds up the side. Set the pan on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the condensed milk with the lemon juice. In another bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the lemon zest with the egg yolks until pale. Beat in the condensed milk mixture until smooth. Pour the filling into the crust.
  • Bake the pie for 25 minutes, until the center jiggles slightly and the edges are set. Transfer the pan to a rack; let cool for 1 hour. Loosely cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze the pie for at least 6 hours.
  • Wrap a warm, damp kitchen towel around the side of the springform pan to release the pie; remove the ring. Using a hot knife, slice the pie, transfer to plates and serve.

The filling was a little runny for my liking, but the flavor was great. I think I would try using less milk next time.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover lemons. I always have a few lemons on hand, so this is a great recipe to have in my back pocket.

The crust was a little too soggy for my liking. I think I would try using a different type of crust next time.

I made this pie for a party and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. I even had people asking for the recipe. I will definitely be making this pie again.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend using less lemon juice if you don't like your desserts too sour.

This lemon ice box pie was a hit! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. The creamy filling was balanced by the tartness of the lemons, and the graham cracker crust added a nice crunch. I would definitely make this again.
