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.

Steps:
- Combine the whip cream, cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix on high speed until SMOOTH. Taste and add more lemon juice to your liking.
- Pour into crust and refrigerate overnight.
- NOTE: Keebler is the only brand I have seen that serves the large graham cracker crust. It will have the note '2 extra servings' on the label.
- NOTE: If you do not have enough time to let the cream cheese get to room temperature, I sometimes will microwave it 10 seconds at a time until it is fairly soft.

A family favorite when a no-bake, fast pie is needed. (And family members too small to use the oven can make dessert!) Very pretty when garnished with whipped cream and mint leaves.

Tips:
- For a creamier pie, use full-fat ingredients like cream cheese and sour cream.
- If you don't have a lemon zester, you can use a fine grater to remove the zest from the lemons.
- Make sure the butter is cold and firm before you add it to the crust mixture. This will help the crust stay flaky.
- Don't overmix the crust mixture. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Press the crust mixture firmly into the pie plate. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking and cracking.
- Chill the crust for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the crust set and prevent it from becoming too soft.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Keep an eye on the crust so that it doesn't burn.
- Let the crust cool completely before filling it. This will help prevent the filling from becoming runny.
- When making the filling, be sure to use fresh lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice can have a bitter taste.
- If you don't have powdered sugar, you can make your own by grinding granulated sugar in a food processor or blender.
- Don't overbeat the filling. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
Lemon Icebox Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and delicious dessert, give Lemon Icebox Pie a try!
