My husband's grandmother used to make a lemon icebox pie similar to this for all of our summer get-togethers. He played around, and came up with a much simpler and quicker version with frozen lemonade.

Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Break the graham crackers, add them to a food processor and process to fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and granulated sugar and process until well combined; the texture should be that of dry sand.
- Using the back of a measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into a 9-inch round pie dish. Put the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake until slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool while making the filling.
- For the filling: In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff. Set aside.
- To a clean mixing bowl, add the lemon curd, cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk and beat until smooth. Gently fold 3/4 cup of the whipped cream into the lemon curd mixture until combined.
- Pour the filling into the cooled pie shell. Top with the remaining whipped cream and use the back of a spoon to spread it and make peaks. Freeze, uncovered, for at least 2 hours. (If storing longer, after 2 hours in the freezer remove, cover and return to the freezer. Store for up to 48 hours in advance. If freezing overnight or longer, remove from the freezer 10 to 12 minutes before slicing.)
- For serving: If desired, top with the blackberries, raspberries and mint. Dust with powdered sugar.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
- Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the pie.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the pie filling tough.
- If you don't have an icebox pie maker, you can use a regular pie plate. Just be sure to pre-bake the crust before adding the filling.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will give the filling time to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This easy lemonade icebox pie is a delicious and refreshing treat that's perfect for summer. It's made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in just a few minutes. The creamy, tangy filling is encased in a flaky, buttery crust, and the whole thing is topped with a dollop of whipped cream. This pie is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
