Serendipity's Lemon Ice Box Pie image

This Serendipity favorite is a simple, no-bake pie. Its citrus flavor is perfect and refreshing for those really hot days. The book doesn't call for it, but I like to add the zest of one or two lemons, just for a little more lemon flavor. Remember to zest lemons before juicing. Time does not include refrigeration.

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup lemon juice (4-6 lemons)
1 lemon, zest of (optional)
whipped cream

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and butter until fully incorporated. Scrape mixture into a 9" pie pan. Using your fingers or the back of a sppon, press mixture firmly onto the base and up the sides of the pan, forming a uniform crust about 1/4" thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In a medium nonstick saucepan, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and lemon juice until smooth. Cook custard over medium heat until very hot to the touch, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Do not allow to boil.
  • Strain custard through a sieve into prepared pie shell. (If using lemon zest, strain through sieve into another bowl. Fold in lemon zest and pour into pie shell.) Smooth the filling, forming a slight dome in the center. Refrigerate uncovered at least 1 hour, or until set. Cover with plastic wrap and chill completely, at least another hour.
  • Serve wedges cold with plenty of whipped cream. Store covered in refrigerator.

This pie is the perfect summer dessert. It's light and refreshing, and the lemon flavor is so bright and sunny. I love serving it with a dollop of whipped cream and a few fresh berries.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover lemons. I always have a few lemons on hand, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

I've never been a big fan of lemon desserts, but this pie changed my mind. The filling is perfectly tart and sweet, and the crust is the perfect balance of crunchy and chewy. I'll definitely be making this again.

I was a bit skeptical about making this pie without baking it, but I was pleasantly surprised. The filling is smooth and creamy, and the crust is perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this pie several times and it always turns out great. The key is to use fresh lemons and to not overbeat the filling. I also like to add a little bit of grated lemon zest to the filling for extra flavor.
