If you’re looking for a quick and easy homemade dessert, you’ve come to the right place. This Raspberry Lemon Icebox Pie simplifies dessert by having a short list of ingredients and needing zero oven time. You can go from gathered ingredients to chill time in about 20 minutes. Who’s with me?

Of course, as much as I love quick and easy, it doesn’t mean much if the end result isn’t that great. But this pie combines that wonderful simplicity with amazing flavor. Tart lemons and a bit of sweet raspberries come together in a cool, creamy filling for a fantastic pie that gets rave reviews.

I’ve been making versions of this lemon pie for many years. (Like this coconut version!) It’s so simple to make and so good that it’s one of my go-to recipes for a cool, refreshing dessert.

This version of the pie has a very simple twist to it. To get that pretty swirl and sweet raspberry flavor, just swirl some raspberry preserves into the filling. Of course, you can use another variety of preserves if you like. Blueberry or strawberry would both be fantastic.

This pie is a summer dessert staple for me. It’s so easy and so tasty that it’s a sure thing. Make it for a gathering of friends or whip it up and keep it in your own refrigerator to enjoy over a few days. Hey, I won’t even cast any stones if you eat it straight out of the pan.

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 7 ounces graham cracker crumbs (about 1 & 3/4 cups)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • zest of 2 medium lemons
  • juice of 3 medium lemons
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup raspberry preserves

Instructions

To make the crust:

  1. Combine the crumbs and butter until thoroughly combined.
  2. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie or tart pan.
  3. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you make the filling.*

To make the filling:

  1. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the condensed milk and cream cheese until thoroughly combined and smooth. Mix in the lemon zest and juice.
  2. Place the cream in a separate bowl. Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed until slightly stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Spread evenly in the chilled crust.
  4. Dollop the preserves over the top of the filling. Use a thin knife to swirl the preserves into the top of the filling.
  5. Refrigerate the pie at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

*The chilling time will help the crust hold together a bit better. For a sturdier crust, bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the crust to cool before filling. I prefer to store this pie in the refrigerator. For a firmer texture, you can freeze it instead. You may need to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

  1. Oddly (or not) I just thawed a jar of homemade raspberry jam.  Go figure the coincidence!  Looking forward to trying this one!  Thanks, Jennifer!!!

  2. I made this pie the other day and it came out perfect. I baked the crust and chilled it for an hour before adding the filling. I used blueberry preserves and it was delicious with the lemon. I chilled it overnight. It is pretty, easy to make and so delicious! I will definitely make it again.

  3. So happy when I see ice-box pies without Cool Whip. Thank you 

  4. This looks delish! I’m planning to make it today! Can you freeze this for a couple of days before eating?

    • Hi, Lindsey! I’ve not tried freezing it, but I think it would be fine to do that after it has set in the refrigerator. Just be sure to warp it very well. Keep in mind that it will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
