How to Make Cherry Lemon Icebox Pie

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon extract, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Stir constantly until the mixture slightly thickens, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled lemon milk mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pre-baked pie crust.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly.
  7. Top with your favorite cherry pie filling (about 1 1/2 cups).
  8. Chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to fully set before serving.
