Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest, finely grated
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the bottom of a flat glass or measuring cup to compact the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the lemon filling into the chilled crust, spreading it out evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set firmly.

Step 5

Just before serving, make the whipped cream by combining the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Use a hand or stand mixer to beat the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled lemon filling. Optionally, garnish the pie with additional lemon zest or thin lemon slices for decoration.

Step 7

Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy the sweet tanginess of Mama's Lemon Icebox Pie!
