In this video, April makes a dessert recipe for Luscious Lemon Icebox Pie. This is actually a delicious, creamy pie that is frozen. It is a perfect dessert for grilling out or a summer barbeque!

Ingredients

3 cup vanilla wafers (I used organic)

3-4 tablespoons butter, melted (depends on the brand of wafers you use, the crumbs should be moist)

1 cup cold heavy cream

8 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened

1 can (fat free) sweetened condensed milk

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1/4 cup lemon juice

Optional: fresh berries to garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Place the wafers and the melted butter in a food processor, and pulse until they are fine crumbs. Press this mixture into a pie plate and bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely, place it in the freezer to speed up the process, if desired.

Using a mixer, beat the heavy cream, until stiff peaks are formed, and then set the whipped cream aside. In a separate bowl mix together the cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream and pour the filling into the cooled crust.

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight. It should be very firm, serve it as soon as it is sliced with the berries if desired.
