Lemon Ice Box Pie

I was going to dedicate an entire post to Ice Box Pies. I posted one for Strawberry and then I got busy and then I had this one in a folder, so I decided to post it, and now I'm tired. Anyway, here's my favorite Lemon Ice Box Pie recipe. You can search the one for Strawberry Ice Box Pie.
I may add other recipes later.
