Two Lemon Icebox Pies
Filling
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
3 lemons (probably would have used four if I had them)
1 scoop of sugar (about 1/3 cup)
6 egg yolks
Meringue
6 egg whites
1 scoop of sugar (about 1/3 cup)
Crust
Vanilla wafers (about 1 box), some will be crushed, some will be whole.
1/2 stick butter
Preheat Oven 325 or 350 degrees.
To prepare the crust crush up about 1/2 box of vanilla wafers. Then melt 1/2 stick butter. Add some crumbs and half the butter you melted to each pie plate. Use a fork and spread evenly. Then add a few dry crumbs on top and help fill in any gaps. Do this for two pies. Set aside.
For the filling mix in blender sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and sugar. While its blending cut up your lemons and squeeze the juice out of them. Get rid of any seeds. Now add that to the blender and continue to blend for a couple more minutes. Pour half of mixture into each pie plate with prepared crust. Then push around the edges vanilla wafers to line pie.
For the meringue use blender or hand whip 6 egg whites. Once frothy, add sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
Spread meringue over filling and bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes.
Once they are done, remove from oven, and let cool. Then place in the fridge for at least an hour or until well chilled.
