Easy lemon pie recipe first thing I learned to cook as a kid

(Ok, so it took me two tries to get this pie done!!..The first time was yesterday morning around 11:00ish I forgot to separate the eggs yolks from the eggs whites, but that was because I had just finished a phone call that was quite exciting, and I was so happy that I just forgot!! The second time around was much later in the afternoon, it was going well until I decided that I needed to take the pie out of the baking pan and place it onto a cake stand and it fell apart…:( But it doesn’t matter it still tasted so good!!! ) 🙂We have been having gorgeous weather since Monday and I have been out almost everyday running errands and just going out with my brother. It is very sunny and bright outside, so what came to mind with such beautiful days…a delicious dessert, what sort of dessert you say; well Lemon of course. 🙂 It was hot, hot, hot, yesterday to much for this time of year, but I shouldn’t complain it was lovely, so making this refreshing Lemon Pie was a good idea because when the weather is hot you need to cool off somehow and a cold dessert is just a perfect idea. (I added a scoop of Lemon Sorbet on mine instead of whipped cream) 🙂 Lemon Pie, Pudding, Lemonade, Pink Lemonade are my utmost favorite especially if these are homemade. This Lemon pie (tart) is truly so simple to make, you won’t need more than a few ingredients to blend together and your done.. easy, tasty, refreshing !! 🙂

This recipe is with my family for years. It tastes great!

Great pie for those days we dont have time to do from scratch. . Enjoy.

Storage: Keep the dessert in the refrigerator to prevent the cream cheese from melting and to enhance the flavor. For best results, wrap the dessert before refrigerating to prevent moisture droplets from dripping onto it.

This pie is so easy to throw together and tastes delicious and decadent. It's a gteat balance of tart and sweet. The crust is a combination of graham crackers and crushed almonds, but you could just do an all graham cracker crust instead, just add an extra sheet of graham crackers. You don't want to put on the whipped cream until right before serving...pictured with the whipped cream at the bottom. Recipe adapted from : Sallysbakingaddiction.com

I love key lime pie, so I thought that if I added some lemon, it'd be even more tart!Americans use cups (1 cup = 250 ml). If you heat the lemons and limes (especially the limes) in a microwave for about 10 seconds, they'll be easier to squeeze. Recipe by Shock!

FYI - Please read recipe directions and note that this pie is to be baked - plain and simple - it goes in the oven! If you opt not to follow the directions - guess what - "the lemon juice doesn't cook the eggs"😉
