We used to eat at a restaurant that served lemon icebox pie. I really think it was the Edward's brand. I have tried to find a recipe to recreate it. This is as close to it as I can remember. I've tweaked three recipes to come up with this recipe.

How To Make favorite lemon icebox pie

Step 1

MAKE THE COOKIE CRUST (OR USE READY MADE VANILLA WAFER OR GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST): Place wafers in a gallon sized ziplock bag and use rolling pin to crush cookies into crumbs. Add melted butter and knead. Press into bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill 30 mins. - 1 hour in refrigerator. *NOTE: May use blender to make crumbs instead of rolling pin, if desired.

Step 2

LEMON ICEBOX PIE FILLING: In mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Pour into prepared (chilled) pie crust. Place in refrigerator while preparing topping.
Step 3

MARSHMALLOW TOPPING: Mix together 2 cups of marshmallows and 2 tablespoons milk in large microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and continue microwaving an additional 30 seconds or until marshmallows are completely melted. Mix well. Refrigerate until cool (about 15 minutes.) Fold in 1/2 tub of whipped topping and blend well. Spread on top of pie.
Step 4

Press whole wafers into the top sides around the pie. Place pie in refrigerator to chill until set about 3 hours. Enjoy!
