No-Bake Lemon Icebox Pie Recipe

No-Bake Lemon Icebox Pie Recipe

Transform your kitchen into a haven of citrus-sweet delights with this refreshing dessert that's perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker crust

 

  • Whipped cream or whipped topping for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until completely smooth and free of lumps. Remember to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Create the Creamy Mixture: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream cheese. Beat until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
  • Add Citrus Elements: Pour in the fresh lemon juice and add the lemon zest. Stir until everything is thoroughly incorporated and the mixture begins to thicken.
  • Fill the Crust: Transfer the creamy lemon filling into your graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
  • Chill to Perfection: Refrigerate the pie for at least 8 hours, though overnight chilling will yield the best results.

 

  • Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream or whipped topping if desired. Slice and enjoy!
