It’s hard to get any rest during the holidays. Travel is abysmal, family-time can be exhausting. Assuming you’re over the age of ten, you’re expected to help cook a pretty epic feast.
LEMON ICEBOX PIE (Or Lemon Poor-Man’s Cheesecake)
This recipe for Lemon Icebox Pie is so easy it doesn’t even require an oven. It uses cream cheese instead of cool whip, and thus takes on the quality of a lemon-flavored poor-man’s cheesecake which is a perfectly acceptable second name if you think that will impress a family member.
Ingredients:
1 8oz pack cream cheese
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup of lemon juice (use real lemons)
1 9-inch pre-made graham cracker crust
Directions:
Put the first three ingredients in a bowl and whip with an electric mixer until it’s all one substance. Add the drop of yellow if needed, and mix again. Then pour the lemon filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth out with a rubber spatula. Set in the fridge for at least three hours.
