Well, we decided to take all those delightful aspects of that classic pie and to swap in lemons to create a gorgeous, sunshiny lemon pie. Because who doesn&#8217;t love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-lemon-desserts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-lemon-desserts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">lemon desserts<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Our lemon pie has a crunchy graham cracker crust, a custardy lemon filling and a simple whipped cream topping. It\u2019s an easy dessert that\u2019s packed with contrasting textures and a flavor explosion of refreshing, citrusy lemon.

Be sure to check the labels on the cans so you\u2019re not accidentally grabbing evaporated milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong> You\u2019ll need about 2-1\/2 lemons for 1\/2 cup lemon juice. Buy three or four lemons from the store just to be safe, and use any leftover lemons as decoration for the lemon pie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Graham cracker crust:<\/strong> Make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-graham-cracker-crust\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-graham-cracker-crust\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">graham cracker crust<\/a> at home or purchase a store-bought one for ease.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy whipping cream:<\/strong> This lemon pie recipe is topped with homemade whipped cream, but you can certainly use thawed whipped topping from the store instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> We sweeten the homemade whipped cream with a bit of granulated sugar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Create the filling<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1982497 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Best-Lemon-Pie_FT23_198915_JR_1208_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A bowl with whisk\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F.

Place the pie on a wire rack and let it cool at room temperature for one hour. Cover the pie with storage wrap and refrigerate it until it\u2019s cold, about two hours.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> This lemon pie recipe is the perfect make-ahead recipe. If you\u2019d like to make this pie a day in advance, follow this recipe through to this step.

Once the sugar is added, try not to overbeat the cream, creating stiff peaks. These can look grainy and unappealing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1982500 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Best-Lemon-Pie_FT23_198915_JR_1208_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Best Lemon Pie\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Top the lemon pie with the whipped cream just before serving.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-a-piping-bag\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-a-piping-bag\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">use a piping bag<\/a> to create fun designs with the whipped cream on the pie. It\u2019s easier than you think!<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Try a different crumb crust:<\/strong> A graham cracker crust is classic for a lemon pie recipe, but there are tons of other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/crumb-crust-ingredients\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/crumb-crust-ingredients\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">ingredients to use for crumb crusts<\/a>\u00a0if you want to switch things up. Nilla wafers, nuts and shortbread would taste amazing with this lemon pie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap in Meyer lemons:<\/strong> A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-a-meyer-lemon\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-a-meyer-lemon\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Meyer lemon<\/a> is a mandarin orange and lemon hybrid. They are smaller, juicier and sweeter than a regular lemon, and a bit more orange in color too. Swap in Meyer lemon juice for the lemon juice so your pie turns out sweeter and takes on a slightly darker yellow hue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a new topping:<\/strong> Trade this recipe&#8217;s sweetened whipped cream for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mojito-whipped-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mojito-whipped-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mojito whipped cream<\/a> that\u2019s filled with mint, limes and rum extract.

You could also add circles of dehydrated lemon slices or pieces of fresh lemons on top. Arrange bright green sprigs of mint around the lemon zest or lemon slices for an extra pop of color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Lemon Pie<\/h2>\n<p>To store any leftover lemon pie, wrap the pie gently with storage wrap. It\u2019s easier if you scrape away any whipped topping, but you certainly don\u2019t have to. You can also place the pie in a handy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/dessert-carriers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/dessert-carriers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">dessert carrier<\/a>, or transfer slices of the lemon pie to an airtight container. However you wrap the pie, it will last in the fridge for up to three days.<\/p>\n<h2>Lemon Pie Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1982501 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Best-Lemon-Pie_FT23_198915_JR_1208_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Best Lemon Pie Ft23 198915 Jr 1208 7\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you use bottled lemon juice?<\/h3>\n<p>We do not recommend using bottled lemon juice in our lemon pie recipe.

Make one single cut. Wash the knife under the hot water to remove the debris, wipe away the water and make the next cut. Repeat these steps until the entire pie is cut.
