Lemon Icebox Pie

Directions

1. 1
   For the crust:
2. 2
   Melt butter in the microwave. The 3 tablespoons should take about 30-ish seconds. In a bowl combine graham cracker crumbs and butter, stir until well combined.
3. 3
   Press into a pie plate that you've already sprayed with non-stick spray. Tamp the mixture down with the underside of a glass. Works really well. Set aside.
4. 4
   For the filling:
5. 5
   In a medium-sized bowl mix the dry pudding mixes with 4 cups of milk. Once it's thick and creamy, add the Cool Whip and mix until well combined. Pour this over top of the pie crust. Smooth out.
6. 6
   For the topping:
7. 7
   Gently spread the Cool Whip on top of filling. Smooth it out. Garnish the top of the pie with sprinkles if you like them. Just makes it extra pretty.
8. 8
   Pop it in your freezer for about an hour, or up to about 4 hours. Timing depends on if you like your icebox pie soft or hard. Remove it from the freezer when ready to serve, and slice. Serve with a big old lemony smile!
