A welcome visit over the weekend from my youngest daughter Jamie and two little ones.The girls always ask for Lemon Ice Box pie and grandma prepared it early that morning.
The next day my middle daughter Beth came and spent the night and is still with me.
Needless to say I enjoytheir visits.
The Lemon Ice Box Pie is so easy and I may have posted the recipe in the past - so before someone emails me or one of my daughter's ask again for it "again" - I will share.
3 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 to 3/4 cup lemon juice - I find that 1/2 cup is fine for me and not so tart
mix (I use my whisk) and pour into a graham cracker crust and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees
(for a crisper crust, brush with beaten egg white and bake unfilled crust at 375 for 5 minutes)
Over the years I have enjoyed this hint - otherwise I always found the crust might crumble
Cool on wire rack and then refrigerate. After about an hour I cover pie with cool whip. If pie is going to be used immediately with no left overs - you can use whip cream.
Keep any left over in refrigerator, it keeps well for days. Of course it does not last long at my home.

lilalia, Balisha, pve design, Judy, Jan and Laura - thank you for visiting and commenting.
Laura if your girls make the pie.
Do the pie shell first and then mix your other ingredients and pour in shell and bake. It is a little cooler in my area - :)
I am so going to make that pie! It sounds wonderful. My daddy's mother used to make lemon ice box pie when we would visit too!
Amy, you make it for those boys.
If this is my Jamie's Amy. Also, when are you coming to visit me? If not my Amy - other Amy make it anyway :)

It is your Jamie's Amy and yours too! The pie is now cooling in my kitchen! Can't wait until after supper to have it, with cool whip! I need to visit you soon!
This sounds delicious, as well as the shrimp scampi recipe you shared in an earlier post. It's time for me to branch out and try some new ideas in the kitchen.
Thank you for your heartfelt comments over at my place. They are much appreciated. You have a lovely family. All the work you've done on your property really shows.
Amy, hope the pie is as good as mine turn out. Sharon, thank you for visiting. Both of you have a wonderful day.
