Lemon Ice Box Pie!
Such and easy Pie...but I was surprised the number of people who asked "What kind of Pie?" I always hated the Meringue in a Lemon Pie.... just the texture of the meringue always was off putting to me! Don't know why! But when I first had a slice of Lemon Ice Box Pie I thought...'Now, this is a PIE!'
So I dug around until I found a recipe that is as close as I could get to my first bite about 47 years ago!
So here goes!
INGREDIENTS:
*1 (one) 9" graham cracker pie crust
*2 (two) cans of Sweetened Condensed Milk
*1/2 cup of Lemon Juice (I really cheat I use Realemon Juice out of a bottle)
*1/8 cup of Countrytime lemonade mix or NOT it's up to YOU
*4 large egg YOLKS! ( I know some people will use the whites to make a meringue - yuck not me!)
*Topping of choice ! I like Whipped Cream out of a CAN!
Some people like Cool Whip - whatever!
DIRECTIONS:
*Preheat oven to 325 F
*Mix yolks, condensed milk, juice, and dry lemonade mix -
*Beat until nice and evenly blended together
*Pour into pie crust
*Place pie pan on cookie sheet for stability
Bake for 25 min.
*Remove from oven let cool for 30 min
*Cover with inverted pie shell plastic top
*Refrigerate ...
Cut into slices.... top with your preference of topping and
ENJOY!
