How to Make Lemon Ice Box Pie
This is an old-time recipe that requires the pie spend the night in the refrigerator, or the ice box. A regular ice box cake involves layers of pudding and graham cracker crumbles. The lemon version is slightly more work-intensive, and it foregoes the crumbles for a prepared graham cracker crust. Does this Spark an idea?

I have had this and it is GOOD. Yes Iceboxes. LOL amazing how far we have come with refrigerators that freeze AND dispense ice or water. Some that look like bread drawers!
