Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 14 ounces Condensed milk, sweetened
• 4 Egg yolks
• 0.5 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 4 Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown. 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 and egg yolks until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the lemon juice and lemon zest until the mixture is fully combined and thickened.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake the pie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the flavors to meld and the pie to fully set.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and lemon slices, if desired.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your refreshing Lemon Icebox Pie!
