Description: 🍋 Don’t try if you don’t like lemon. WOOO HOOOO this is lemony and delicious. The graham cracker taste of the crust just compliments all the lemon flavor. I find that refrigerating overnight gives all the ingredients time to really have that taste a “chiffon” pie such as this should have. I got this recipe out of my Jello Brand Recipe Book years ago. Been making it ever since then. Hope you enjoy. 🙂

- 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
