Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish using your fingers or the back of a measuring cup.

  3. 3

    Bake the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and hazelnut syrup until smooth and well combined.

  2. 5

    Fill the Crust

    Pour the lemon filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.

  3. 6

    Chill the Pie

    Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Pie

    Once the pie is set, slice into wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Enjoy your refreshing lemon ice box pie!
