Lemon Icebox Pie: Are you ready to make a Lemon Icebox Pie? I love lemon pies, do you? They are delicious, a bit sweet, and tart. This makes them have the ultimate refreshing taste. Perfect for spring, summer, or any time you crave a lemon dessert!
This lemon icebox pie recipe is easy to make. There is a chill time before serving. You need to make this pie a few hours in advance, and overnight is even better. Because you know it is set before you slice into it.
This is perfect for anyone who needs a lemon dessert. Who loves easy no-bake desserts?? I love it when I find a new recipe I know I can make on repeat. Don’t you?

For the easy lemon icebox pie, you’ll need to make or buy a graham cracker crust. I made mine homemade. When it’s hot outside, you can purchase a premade pie crust. Whatever you decide, I won’t mind, and I don’t think your guests will either. This is one darn good, ice-cold, creamy lemon pie!

Graham Cracker Crust
Supplies For Making No-Bake Lemon Pie
Today’s no-bake dessert is lemon icebox pie. It is an adapted recipe. I found this recipe while leafing through All Recipes magazine. *Page 81 June/July/August. The recipe didn’t have a crust recipe. (I have a link to mine later in this post.) Their recipe said to mound filling into the pie crust. 1-9-inch graham pie crust. I decided to make my Graham pie crust.
As much as the premade pie crusts are handy and good. Homemade is even better! But, I’ve been known to cheat, especially if it’s over 100 degrees. If you make your own, the oven is only about 10 minutes to set the crust.
They are super easy to make. Graham crusts are one of my favorites for many of my no-bake dessert recipes, cheesecakes, and pies. You only need about five ingredients and five utensils to make this recipe. Quick to make and quick to clean up!
First, seed your lemon and squeeze at least one-third of a cup to half a cup of lemon juice. Set the side and grab a mixing bowl.
How To Make No-Bake Lemon Ice Box Pie
Next, add your 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk to your mixing bowl.
Next, add the lemon juice. See the notes below for adjusting the lemon flavor and amounts.
Then 2-1/4 whipped topping. Mix until it is smooth.
Pour mixture into pre-made graham cracker pie crust.
Before chilling, cover and tent the lemon pie with aluminum foil, which keeps it fresh and the top pretty.
Chill until firm in the refrigerator; chill time is about 2-3 hours or overnight.
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!
Recipe Notes:
Taste and add a little more lemon juice if needed. I added at least half a cup to 2/3 cup, after tasting. But, not too much extra to lessen the thickness.
If needed, you could always add a bit more whipped topping. Next, add the mixture to your pre-made graham pie crust.
Chill for a minimum of several hours up to a day in advance of serving. I tented mine with foil for chilling. Why tent it? To keep the surface of the lemon icebox pie smooth. Keep on the fridge, tent-covered until ready to serve.
