Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 0.5 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to make it even and compact.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the filling is just set. It should jiggle slightly in the center when shaken gently.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.

Step 9

Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with lemon slices for decoration.

Step 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Easy Southern Lemon Icebox Pie!
