Lemon Sour Cream Pie

"If you are a lemon-lover then you will really enjoy this pie. If using whipped cream in place of Cool Whip then spread on top of the pie just before serving. Prep time is for making the lemon mixture only, this can also be made using a graham cracker crust --- see my recipe#66929"

  1. I have made this pie several times and everyone loves it! Added a little extra lemon zest to it one of the times which was a mistake. It's perfect just the way it's written!
     
  2. Loved it! I made it in the microwave, stirring every minute or so. Super easy, super fast and super delicious, can't beat that. I was bad though, I had to use the bottled lemon juice as I couldn't talk hubby into retrieving the last few lemons from our tree that are too high for me to reach. Thanks Kitten!
     
  3. I made this in a graham cracker crust-my crust fell apart totally, so I had to spoon pie onto desert plates. But the taste couldn't be beat. I like a strong lemon taste and the sour cream made the lemon taste stronger than in most lemon pies. Will definately make this one again!
     
  4. Well, I love lemons & was very tempted to add more zest, but I didn't ~ just followed the recipe right down the line, & I'm glad I did! As is indicated, this pie is 'very lemony' & the taste is OUTSTANDING! Will definitely be making this one again & again! Thanks SO MUCH for posting it!
     
  5. Fantastic and really quick to make. Creamy and lemony, silky smooth with a whipped cream top. I used Honey Graham Pie Crust recipe #80301 with great results. My picky boys absolutely devoured this. Two of them (ages 7 and 4) ate half the pie, which is an indication of just how good this is! We just happened to have some beautiful strawberries with dinner and while they do make a lovely garnish, I have visions of using the pie filling in simple parfaits with fresh blueberries or strawberries, topped with whipped cream. Yum! Thanks, Kittencal, this one's SO GOOD!
