Receta Lemon Icebox Pie
Lemon Icebox Pie
If you live in the deep south and have ever attended a covered dish supper or a church social, I’m sure you’ve encountered a lemon icebox pie. Similar to key lime pie, this dessert shares common ingredients with its cousin. There is nothing original about this recipe so I can’t claim creative rights. I’m sure every mother and grandmother in the south has a recipe similar to this one.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to lemon icebox pie…meringue or whipped cream as the topping. This dessert is called lemon meringue pie in other parts of the country and I would say that meringue may be the more traditional topping. However, I prefer whipped cream and after following Trace’s suggestion to mix sour cream with whipped cream in his key lime pie recipe, this will always be my topping of choice for this pie. As I mentioned in that post, depending on how much you like and how you apply it, you may want to consider doubling the topping part of the recipe.
This pie could not be easier to make and will delight your family or friends at the end of a picnic or barbeque. This Mississippi boy remembers this pie as the quintessential summer treat. If you need a quick and easy dessert, try this recipe.
