Ingredients

  • 250 g full fat cream cheese
  • 10-14 oz sweetened condensed milk (either amount will work as cans are sold in different sizes in different countries)
  • 1/2 cup lemon Juice
  • 1 9-10 inch graham cracker pie crust
  • Extra toppings: whipped cream, lemon zest

Instructions

  • Whip the cream cheese with an electric stand mixer (with whisk attachment) or hand mixer until smooth. Then add the sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice and continue to blend until smooth and fully incorporated.
  • Pour the pie filling into the pie crust and smooth out the top. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Add whipped cream and/or fresh lemon zest just before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • What is the best recipe for making my own graham cracker crust?
    If you want to make a homemade graham cracker crust, this is one of my favourite recipes to follow OR this gluten free version is great too (if needed for dietary reasons).
  • How can I get my cream cheese to soften quicker? Remove it from the fridge, unwrap it and cut it into small cubes on a plate. Spread the cubes a part a bit on the plate so that they can soften more quickly at room temperature.
  • Why didn’t my icebox pie set? I recommend letting the pie set for at least 3 hours, if not overnight. If you don’t give it long enough in the fridge, it won’t set and you won’t be able to cut a clean slice.
