Print Recipe

A refreshing and creamy no-bake lemon icebox pie that blends tart and sweet flavors, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  2. Chill the crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to set.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk, mixing until well combined.
  4. Add the lemon: Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest until well blended.
  5. Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture.
  6. Combine: Gently pour the lemon mixture into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill again: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  8. Serve: Slice the pie into wedges and top with additional whipped cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest.

Notes

For a firmer pie, add a tablespoon of gelatin dissolved in warm water to the filling before folding in the whipped cream.
