A refreshing and easy-to-make lemon icebox pie with tangy lemon flavor, creamy texture, perfect for summer gatherings and dessert lovers seeking a cool treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the lemonade concentrate, Eagle Brand milk, and Cool Whip together until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into prepared pie crusts.
- Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 4 hours or until firm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a tangier taste, consider adding a bit of fresh lemon juice or zest to the mixture. If you prefer a lighter texture, you can use low-fat Cool Whip or Greek yogurt as a substitute. Make sure to mix the ingredients gently to maintain the fluffiness of the Cool Whip. This pie pairs wonderfully with a buttery graham cracker crust, but feel free to try it with a chocolate crust for a fun twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Lemon Icebox Pie chilled for a refreshing dessert, especially on warm days. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh berries for added color and flavor. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. This dessert can also be part of a summer picnic spread alongside light salads or grilled dishes for a delightful meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the best texture, avoid freezing the pie, as it may alter the consistency of the Cool Whip. If you have a lot of leftovers, consider portioning them into individual servings for easy access. Simply enjoy them cold straight from the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of lemonade concentrate?
Yes, you can substitute with any brand of lemonade concentrate. Just ensure it is the same size (6 oz.) as specified in the recipe. Different brands may vary slightly in sweetness or tartness, so you might want to taste the mixture before pouring it into the crust.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free Lemon Icebox Pie, replace the Eagle Brand milk with a dairy-free condensed milk alternative. Many brands offer coconut or almond-based options. Ensure your Cool Whip is dairy-free as well, or use a whipped coconut cream for a similar texture.
How long does it take for the pie to set?
The pie needs to chill in the refrigerator for about 4 hours or until firm. For best results, prepare it the night before serving, allowing it to set overnight. This extra time enhances the flavors and ensures a perfect, sliceable dessert.
