Just received some fresh lemons. I have graham crackers and butter for a crust. Does anyone have a recipe that is basic and tasty? I have eggs and condensed milk. What else do I need?

Sounds like you've got it covered.

Thanks to both of you. Checking the fridge and pantry now. I just might be able to pull this off.

Use the recipe without cream cheese, that's icebox pie.

My favorite:

Two cans no-fat sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice
Finely grated zest from the fruit
1/2 tsp salt

Mix thoroughly with an immersion blender. The salt and the citric acid will thicken the milk without the need for eggs. Pour into a crust and chill for a few hours.

BTW, you shouldn't have to cook an "ice box" pie.

You don't have to, I have made them both ways, it just helps the pie set

What a coincidence. A friend just gave us a bunch of Meyer lemons off her tree and my wife wants to make lemon icebox pie. I think we're going to use the Emeril's recipe.

I'm going to cook Osso Bucco.

1 small can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 graham cracker crust
1 small tub Cool Whip

Mix everything together until smooth and pour into pie crust. Refrigerate until set about 1 hour.

That looks really good. I may try that.
