Why Our Recipe

  • Rich with citrus essence, this sumptuous filling boasts a sublime balance of creamy texture and zesty lemon undertones.
  • Here’s a version of your text rewritten in a different style:

    “Say goodbye to deflated whipped cream! Our stabilized topping allows you to artfully apply it as a dollop or piping design, maintaining its light-as-air texture for days without compromising on freshness.”

  • Streamline your dessert-making process by opting for a store-bought pie crust in a variety of styles – from traditional pastry to crispy graham cracker and buttery shortbread.

The bright and tangy flavor of this pie is derived entirely from the use of fresh lemons, with no artificial additives or enhancers present. Clearly, a judicious blend of lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice is the ideal solution. This blend of flavors will impart a vibrant, refreshing taste experience. Don’t you worry, it won’t be sour?

Ingredient Notes

An overhead view of all the fresh, wet, and dry ingredients needed to make old fashioned creamy lemon pie.
  • To achieve a harmonious balance of flavors, you require a specific amount of sugar. Do not try and substitute.
  • : The thickener.
  • Utilize high-quality heavy cream or heavy whipping cream for optimal results. Either filling will suffice for this pie.
  • Use whole milk for a richer flavor, or opt for 2% for a slightly lighter taste.
  • Don’t forget to grate the lemon’s outer layer of skin, known as the zest, before extracting its juice.
  • Freshly squeezed is indeed the best option, as the subtle tang of lemon will complement the dish without overpowering its delicate flavors, making it a perfect accompaniment to this culinary delight. Bottled lemon juice simply fails to capture its essence.
  • These ingredients also aid in thickening the filling, lending a luxurious and velvety texture.
  • If you’re working with unsalted butter, consider adding a small pinch of salt to bring out the flavors; it can serve as a subtle flavour enhancer.
  • Utilize a store-bought pastry crust, a convenient no-bake graham cracker crust, or craft your own signature honey shortbread crust for an added layer of complexity and texture in your dessert. Ensure that the dough or crust is thoroughly cooked and at a suitable temperature before introducing the filling to guarantee optimal flavor and texture.
  • Available for purchase in your local grocery store’s baking supplies section. To successfully cultivate this plant, you must initially soak its roots in water, a process that simply involves allowing the soil to absorb the liquid without any further action.

Crust Options

The simplicity of this classic dessert begins with a well-prepared foundation: a store-bought or homemade pie crust, ready to cradle the sweet and tangy filling within. Consider alternative approaches to traditional pastry: opt for a homemade pastry pie crust, yielding a flaky and buttery foundation, or take a shortcut with a crispy graham cracker crust, eliminating the need for baking altogether. We’re particularly fond of our honey shortbread crust, which cleverly blends the familiar flavours of a graham cracker crust with the tender texture of a traditional pastry crust, yielding a delightful culinary experience. Regardless of your selection, I’m confident that your meal will be utterly scrumptious.

When time is of the essence, relying on a high-quality store-bought pie crust is an excellent shortcut to creating a tangy and satisfying lemon pie. Consider using frozen pie shells, homemade pie crust dough, or a convenient pre-made graham cracker crust for your next dessert endeavour. Designed specifically for a traditional pie crust, this recipe assumes you’ll use a standard, not a deep-dish, variety. Since this isn’t a traditional pie, it’s crucial to follow the package instructions for preparing and baking the crust in advance.

Finish Looks: The Topping

Try spreading it evenly across the surface for a uniform application. Utilize a spatula or the reverse side of a spoon to craft silky, intricate swirls and peaks.

With the whipped cream ready, pipe it into desired shapes using a piping bag equipped with a reliable Wilton 1M or 2D tip for precise control and elegant presentation. Commence by positioning the piping bag vertically above the pie, ensuring a steady stream of filling or topping is released onto its surface. Carefully compress the bag into a compact spiral, starting from its core and gradually working your way outwards in a continuous circular motion. As you finish each rosette, allow the tension to dissipate naturally, ensuring a smooth and even release. Position the piping bag vertically, with the tip poised at a precise 90-degree angle to the pie’s periphery, and create delicate, flowing curves by applying gentle pressure.

Tempering Eggs

Preventing scrambled egg yolks requires tempering them before combining with a hot lemon mixture to ensure a smooth and creamy final product. It may seem slightly complex at first, but rest assured, it becomes straightforward once the concept is grasped.

With the ingredients at the ready, position your bowl of egg yolks and whisk adjacent to the stove before commencing the preparation of the filling. By streamlining this process, individuals can enjoy a more seamless and anxiety-free experience.

Maintain a consistent medium heat when cooking your eggs, as sudden and intense heat can lead to overcooking and scrambling.

As the whisk glides effortlessly through the mixture, a subtle warmth infuses the eggs, marrying them seamlessly with the remaining ingredients in a single, silky stroke.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

 To preserve the piped designs on the leftovers, tent the pie plate with aluminum foil to prevent the fillings from getting squished or cover it with plastic wrap for a more secure seal. The packaged salad will remain fresh and edible in the refrigerator for a maximum of three consecutive days.

As time passes, refrigerated lemon custard may exhibit signs of spoilage: separating and releasing a clear liquid from the surface of the pie, indicating its gradual degradation and loss of freshness.
