LEMON ICEBOX PIE WITH CREAM CHEESE
This lemon icebox pie with cream cheese is as close as you can get to the one I made in a restaurant 35 years ago. The restaurant no longer exists, but this family-sized adaptation remains a family favorite. It is very light, airy, and very refreshing topped with cherries, blueberries, or strawberries. Serve on individual plates as-is, or with your favorite fruit topping.

Steps:
- Put a mixing bowl and the opened can of evaporated milk in the freezer. Freeze until crystals form in the milk, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix cream cheese and sugar together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Mix lemon gelatin with boiling water until dissolved; let cool until it starts to thicken, 20 to 30 minutes.
- While the lemon gelatin cools, mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar in a bowl, then add melted butter. Press on the bottom and up the sides of a 9x12-inch pan.
- Whip the gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Whip crystallized evaporated milk in the ice-cold mixing bowl until stiff. Fold whipped milk gently into the cream cheese mixture. Pour over the crust.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap, making sure it does not directly touch the surface of the pie. Chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- Cut into twelve 3-inch squares with a sharp knife that has been run under hot water.
