Wordless Wednesday #35: Pie!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I know this is supposed to be "wordless" but here's the recipe for the pie pictured above.
Lemon Icebox Cheesecake Pie
Cream Cheese - 8 oz brick
Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1 can
Lemon Juice - 1/3 cup
Graham cracker crustNotes on amounts:
- Combine all but crust in a blender and mix until smooth.
- Pour filling into crust and refrigerate over night.
One "batch" of filling, as shown above, in a regular pie crust leaves enough room to add a can of cherry (or other fruit) pie filling on top. However, my people don't believe in that sort of thing, so I leave it out. This creates something of a dilemma, regarding the amounts. I suggest doing one of the following:
- If you need two pies, three batches of filling will fill two regular crusts nicely.
- If you'd like one bigger pie, get the "two extra slices!" crust (if you can find it) and use two batches of filling.
- Make one pie, as shown, and top with Cool Whip, after refrigerating over night. (This is what I'm doing for tomorrow.)
- Add the fruit filling on top, after refrigerating over night. You know, if you're one of those kind of people.
Enjoy!

What a cutie-pie!
ReplyDeleteThe original recipe also included a tsp of almond extract or, as a substitute, vanilla. Never missed it, though. The picture looks delicious and you and the blender look like "home for the holidays". Wish you could be.
ReplyDeleteI wish you and your family a happy thanksgiving day.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about the extracts. I don't really like almond, but I think I used to make it with vanilla.
ReplyDeleteI did it without once because I didn't have any, and realized it was just as good.
