A slice of Lemon-Lime icebox pie, crowned with whipped cream and accompanied by a tall glass of sweet tea, is a delight like no other. My personal favorite is the key lime pie, using the tiny key limes instead of the usual lemon and lime. For those who favor lemon, feel free to use only lemons. The beauty of this icebox pie lies in its versatility; it can be crafted with any citrus fruit you desire. Try orange for a classic taste, or grapefruit for an unexpected twist. Topping it with blueberry pie filling creates a delectable fusion. Unleash your creativity, and your family will be clamoring for seconds, making you the sensation of your next potluck.
