Frozen Lemon Pie

This pie is my neighbor Mary's specialty. Jake and I love it! It is very light tasting and a great way to end a heavy meal. While not Moroccan, I figured the lemon flavor was enough to tie it in.

Ingredients:

For the crust:

1 box vanilla wafers
2 T butter (melted)

For the filling:
1 can condensed milk (very cold)
zest of one lemon
juice of one lemon
1/2 c sugar

Directions:

1. Process the vanilla wafers in a blender or food processor until they are crumbs. Reserve about a half cup of the crumbs, and mix the remainder with the the melted butter. Pat the buttered crumbs into the bottom and sides of pie dish.

2. Using a stand mixer, beat the condensed milk until it forms stiff peaks. Add in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar, and beat to combine. Spread the mixture into the pie crust, and sprinkle reserved crumbs on top. Freeze.

3. Remove from freezer about 10 minutes before serving.
