I would love your lemon pie recipe.

So would I, pleeeeeeeease...

that link shouldn't get linda'd right?

Well, if it does here's this:

Sour Cream Lemon Pie

Filling:
1 T grated lemon rind
1/4 cup lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon)
3 heaping T cornstarch
1 c milk
1 c sugar
3 egg yolks
1 c sour cream

Mix all of the above in saucepan, cook, and stir constantly until thick. Fold in sour cream. Mix well. Pour into a cooled, baked pie crust (pastry recipe of your choice).

Topping:
1 c whipping cream
2 T confectioners sugar
1 T instant vanilla pudding mix (This helps the topping maintain its integrity over a few days, in case of leftovers. If you don’t want to use the pudding mix, good vanilla extract will do.)

Beat all of the above until fluffy and put on top of the cooled, filled pie in a swirly, swoopy design. Chill everything for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator and serve to guests with your favorite cup of tea.

Note! I brought this pie to my family's Easter dinner yesterday. Someone else brought a cheesecake. By the end of the festivities, 3/4 of the cheesecake was left on the platter and all but one sliver of my pie was gone. This is a wonderful refreshing and creamy dessert!

I posted a reply here and it still hasn't shown up. Will try again to tell you that the recipe sounds fab and I can't wait to try it.

Your post is probably off eating pie.

I've been looking for a recipe to make for Pi day, since its less than two weeks away. Thank you, FG.
