Lemon Freeze is an old fashioned icebox treat came from my grandma. The tang of the lemon combined with the sweetened condensed milk and mellowed by the whipped cream layer makes the perfect summer treat. Another plus, you won't have to turn on your oven and it will come together in about 10 minutes. Just make sure you make it in advance because it does need time to freeze.
A few years ago, I put together a cookbook of her most remembered recipes. Lemon Freeze was everyone's favorite. We've changed the recipe only slightly. It used to call for 2 eggs. These days we know the dangers of raw eggs, so we don't include them. My mom tells me it tastes just the same as it did when grandma used to make it.
If you love lemon desserts, you gotta try my lemon bars! They're seriously amazing! I'm also a big fan of these lemon curd cookies and of course lemon meringue pie.
Do you have any favorite recipes that were passed down to you?

ReplyDeleteMy grandma makes a pumpkin pie that is wonderful. I have her recipe, but haven't managed to write a blog post about it yet. Come to think of it, I have posted her recipe for Oatmeal Raisin (or chocolate chip) cookies. I love family recipes. Thanks for sharing this.
