LEMON ICEBOX PIE

lemon icebox pie

Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live,
it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.
Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie



So here's a piece of the pie.


Lemon Icebox Pie

3 c. whipping cream (1-1/2 pints) do NOT use half and half
½ c. lemon juice
1-1/4 c. sugar
3 tablespoons lemon zest
Whipping cream and/or garnish, if desired
1 store bought graham cracker crust (don't hate, remember I come from Stockton)

In large bowl, mix bream lemon juice, sugar and lemon peel until blended. Pour into 8 small dishes that can be placed in the freezer or pour into a graham cracker crust. Cover, and freeze overnight. Serve frozen.

 

note: "I stress the do not use half and half – it comes out icy and flaky!"
Tasting Notes: I love this pie because I'm one of those lemon people. You are friends with some of them. You cannot understand why they do not care for chocolate. It seems unreal that they even exist but we do and in great numbers. BE AFRAID, we are going to take over the world. It's tart, sweet, refreshing (I know it's overused but still) and you don't have to cook it. Kind of like me.
