Easy Lemon Pie with Soda Cracker Crust is a refreshing icebox lemon pie that's perfect for a party and simple enough for a weeknight.
Old Fashioned Lemon Icebox Pie
If you follow my website, you know I love a good lemon dessert. And Pies. Really, I just love desserts. But for today, I will profess my love of the tart, citrusy, lemon desserts such as my easy Lemon Jello Cake and Lemon Blueberry Sugar Cookies. Which now that I mention those... I'm craving them...
But today, I'm sharing a recipe for an Old Fashioned Lemon Icebox Pie made with sweetened condensed milk, poured into my golden brown Soda Cracker Pie Crust, and Topped with my favorite Fresh Whipped Cream.
This lemon pie recipe was special enough to make for my Momma and Aunt Penny for Mother's Day but let's be real... it's easy enough to make on a Tuesday.
