Lemon Pie

This easy lemon pie recipe is quick and hard to beat on a hot summer day. We have also called it a lemon icebox pie recipe mainly because of the ice used in it plus it needs to be refrigerated. This lemon pie is our favorite for just being able to throw a quick but refreshing dessert together.

Ingredients:
1 pkg.    3 oz. Of any flavor Jell-O
2/3 cup     Boiling water
2 tsp.    Fresh grated fruit rind to compliment Jell-O flavor
2 Tbl.    Lemon Juice (or appropriate fruit flavor)
2 cups    Ice Cubes
1-8 oz    Cool Whip
1    pie crust, pastry or graham cracker
Directions:
1.    Dissolve gelatin completely in boiling water – stirring for 3 minutes.
2.    Add fruit juice, rind and ice cubes.
3.    Stir until gelatin is thickened, about 2-3 minutes.  Remove any unmelted ice.
4.    Using wire whisk blend in whipped topping until smooth.
5.    Spoon into pie crust and chill for 2 hours.  Garnish as desired.

I have linked a couple of words in this recipe to a section of pie making gadgets that I thought you might find of interest to go an look around.
