Week 13 - Lemon Icebox Pie

Well guys, I am woefully behind.  Having a tough time getting it all done.

So I made this icebox pie LAST sunday but just didn't have the opportunity to update the blog all week.  So, here goes. 

The Icebox Pie was fabulous.  Last week, I was in the mood for lemon.  It is FINALLY spring weather and this pie was perfect...We have a subscription to Food and Wine Magazine and every year they send us a cookbook or two.  The year's worth of recipes from the magazine or the Best of the Best new Cookbooks that came out.  And it was in there from David Guas from a famous restuarant in New Orleans.  The recipe can be found here:

So I made it on Sunday...
You had to squeeze 8 lemons for the cake.  Also, the graham cracker crust was super easy! This is the kind of pie you can make ahead of time and whip out for guests as quite a surprise! You bake it for 25 minutes and then leave it in the freezer for 6 hours or up to a week!

It is literally a Lemon explosion in your mouth....And fantastic!!!! Try it, try it.  It is EASTER worthy.....



 
Also, I made prosciutto tomato, gouda cheese sandwiches for Mike that day too.  He was leaving on a plane and I made them before he left.  They were tasty!!!!
