My father used to make this. He learned it in France.

Lemon Rocket Fuel
Combine une boîte condensed sweetened milk (aux USA Eagle Brand, en France Nestlé) with a couple of tablespoons (ou cuillerées à soupe) of lemon juice. The milk thickens to roughly the same consistency as cheesecake. Thanks to Vaughn Stephenson.

Scott Sessions proposes the following variation:

Crush "Dirty Cookies" (the ones like animal crackers) and add melted margarine until moldable. Press mixture into a pie tin.

Put 2 or 3 cans of sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl, and saturate the milk with lemon juice preferably from real lemons. Add a little at a time stirring thoroughly. Continue this process until the milk can't take any more juice. [If you come up short, this isn't a problem.]

Pour the lemon-milk mixture into the pie crust and fill to top. Refrigerate for an hour and then enjoy your dessert...on the moon! This is so potently sour and sweet that it sends you to outer space...hence the name...Rocket Fuel.

Webmaster's note: Outside of the addition of a crust, this is not really different from the first recipe.
