Creamy, delicious Lemon Icebox Pie is the perfect dessert for all your summer parties! And, you might want to make two, because they won’t last long!
This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% my own.
It is no secret that I love all things lemon, whether it is dessert, dinner, or breakfast. And this Lemon Icebox Pie is a slam dunk in the dessert department. I’ve made it many times over the past few years for Easter, 4th of July, and summer barbecues. It’s always a big hit, and it is requested over and over again.
The texture is smooth and creamy, and the flavor is a perfect blend of tart and sweet. It is everything you love in a lemon dessert, and you’ll want to make it for every event you host or attend from now on. Oh, and it’s super easy to make…so, there’s that, too!

How to make Lemon Icebox Pie
Full Printable Recipe Below!
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray and set on top of a baking sheet for easier handling.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter , stir until graham cracker crumbs are moistened. (If you melt the butter in the bowl you want to use, it’s less dishes and a little easier to combine them all!)
- Pour the graham cracker mixture into the prepared pie plate and press evenly onto the sides and bottom to make the crust.
- In another medium sized bowl (or wash and reuse the graham cracker bowl), whisk together the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk.
- And in a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the lemon zest and egg yolks on high until pale.
- Pour the lemon zest and egg mixture in the sweetened condensed milk mixture and beat until smooth, then pour into the pie crust.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when the pie is moved.
- Cool for an hour on a cooling rack, then refrigerate or freeze for at least 6 hours, depending on preference. Serve with whipped cream or cool whip, if desired.
