Lemon Icebox Pie

[MexicoKaren]

I got this recipe from the AllRecipes site, but have changed it considerably from the original. It is light, refreshing, and easy to make. Great summer dessert! We loved it.

YUMMY!! AND sounds easy as pie to make

I make mine just about the same way except I use the juice and zest from 3 lemons. I like mine real lemony. It's an awesome pie!

YUMMY!! AND sounds easy as pie to make

Mine would be even EASIER than pie to make, since I'd buy the graham cracker crust that's already in the pie pan!

My mom will love this one!

Thanks, Karen!

That looks so good.

Oh, it is good! We have two pieces left, for later tonight. I know this is an old recipe, but it amazes me how nicely it sets up. I'll make it again and again, I'm sure.

Mmmm! I love lemon!

 

[MexicoKaren]

Oh, it is SO good. I think I'll make one tomorrow.

 

[Calicolady]

Lemon stuff is my fav.
I too would use pre-made crust (cheat) and more lemon. I love that pucker effect!
Thanks for posting, Karen. I'm a keepin it.

 

[MexicoKaren]

That sounds delicious! Thanks! And I have ALOT of frozen mangoes in my freezer. I'll try this very soon and report back. Mangoes are almost always served "enchilado" here, i.e., with chile powder sprinkled on them.
