I am in need of an old recipe that my mom used to make for my dad. I looked in her 1947 cookbook but many of the pages are missing, which I’m sure is the recipe I am looking for.
It is called LEMON ICEBOX PIE. The best I have ever tasted. Thanks for all your help.

Lemon Icebox Pie
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 egg yolks
1 (8-inch) prebaked pie shell or crumb crust
Meringue:
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream or tartar
1/4 cup sugar
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In medium bowl, combine milk, lemon juice, and zest; blend in egg yolks. Pour into cooled crust.
Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks from. Gradually beat in the sugar until stiff. Spread over filling; seal to edge of crust. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown.
I think this is what you are looking for. Living in the deep south their icebox pies had condensed milk in it. I hope you like it.
