LEMON ICEBOX PIE WITH COCONUT-GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Great dessert for lemon-lovers! Was a bit hesitant to make this, given all the sweetened condensed milk in the recipe, but it’s well worth the sugar indulgence. It is fabulous! It’s not an exaggeration when I say that all who’ve tried it, loved it. It’s quite wonderful (and beautiful) served with the lemon-blueberry sauce on this site.

Texture is creamy even straight out of the freezer, making it a stellar & refreshing hot-summer-night dessert.I love citrus desserts so much, especially lemon ones! This pie looks incredible and so easy to make too! Pinning this one.

This was outstanding – everyone raved about the dessert, and I would make it again in a heartbeat! The chantilly cream is a wonderful contrast to the delightful pie…and the custard has none of that “eggy” taste you usually get with lemon custard desserts. A total winner – simple, impressive, delicious and enjoyed by all after a heavy meal!

Well I am a lemon lover. This creamy pie sounds delicious. Perfect for Easter, but I would eat this all year long. Great for the warm summer weather….and delicious cold desserts
