Grandma Barfoot's Icebox Pie

My mom started making this recipe when I was a child, before we had electricity. She froze it in the ice trays of our kerosene refrigerator. When my own children were small she always kept some available in her freezer. It was the first place they headed when we visited her. Sixty years later, it is still a favorite dessert.

1 large can of evaporated milk, chilled
scant cup of sugar
2 large lemons, juiced (about 1/2 cup juice)
3 cups of vanilla wafer crumbs

Whip evaporated milk until stiff. Continue beating and gradually add sugar, then lemon juice.

Cover the bottom of a 3 quart glass dish with about a third of the vanilla wafer crumbs. Cover this with half of the whipped pie filling and smooth. Scatter another third of the crumbs on top of pie. Cover with the remaining pie filling. Top with remaining vanilla wafer crumbs. Freeze. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving. Can either be spooned out or cut.

Enjoy!
