My mother used to make delicious lemon ice box pie but over the years the recipe got lost. So I was wondering if Ya'll might have one. Thanks

Nano,
I wish I could help, but don't have one. It does sound delicious. Maybe if you describe it I might be able to help you out.

Okay,
I did a search for lemon ice box pie and found some recipes. I'm posting this one because it was the one that appeared in many different sites.
Lemon Ice Box Pie This is the number one favorite pie of my family! My mother-in-law, Gen gave the recipe to me. Don't be afraid to use the low fat Sweetened and Condensed milk; it'll be our little secret! J Also, please use fresh lemon juice...this is much better when you do. 3 eggs, separated 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup lemon juice (juice of 3 lemons or so) 1 tablespoon lemon zest (that's grated lemon rind for you rednecks out there), optional 9 tablespoons sugar 1/3 cup margarine Preheat oven to 350° . Melt margarine. Mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted margarine, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Press into 9-inch pie plate. Mix together lemon juice, lemon zest, and Sweetened and Condensed milk. Beat in egg yolks. Pour into crust. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually beat in remaining 6 tablespoons of sugar. Beat until stiff and glossy. Cover pie with egg white mixture and bake around 20 minutes. Completely cool before serving.
I hope this is it.
