After it has cooled to room temperature, cover the pie, and place it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Lemon chess pie will keep in the fridge for up to three to four days.<\/p>\n<p>You can also freeze this pie, but it\u2019s best to freeze it as individual slices. To do so, allow the lemon chess pie to cool to room temperature, then slice the pie into individual slices. Wrap each piece in storage wrap and then foil, and place in an airtight container. Before eating, just set out a single serving and let it come to room temperature.<\/p>\n<h2>Lemon Chess Pie Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1970484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lemon-Chess-Pie_TOHVP23_41166_MF_11_29_LemonChessPie_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Lemon Chess Pie Tohvp23 41166 Mf 11 29 Lemonchesspie 2\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How can you keep the crust flaky on this lemon chess pie?<\/h3>\n<p>To keep the crust extra flaky on this lemon chess pie, implement our best kept secrets for the perfect pie crust, whether you\u2019re making your own or using a store-bought crust.<\/p>\n<p>Be gentle with your pie dough, and avoid overmixing! Overworking the dough will result in a tough pie crust, not a flaky one. Only mix the pie dough until it just comes together.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the dough as cold as possible so the butter layers bake up flaky pie crust layers. Once the dough is mixed, let it relax and chill in the fridge for at least an hour. Roll out the dough, assemble the pie, and pop the whole thing back in the fridge for about 15 minutes before baking to re-solidify the butter a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Pick the right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/pie-plates\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/pie-plates\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pie plates<\/a>! Avoiding a dreaded soggy bottom pie crust has a lot to do with which pie plate you choose. We\u2019ve found that shiny pie plates yield soggy bottoms, but pie plates like matte-finished aluminum or ceramic create the perfect crispy, flaky pie crust.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do they call it lemon chess pie?<\/h3>\n<p>Lemon chess pie\u2019s origin has many different tales. The first is that the filling has a similar consistency to English cheese pies or American cheesecakes, and a mispronunciation of \u201ccheese\u201d resulted in \u201cchess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another take is that this pie was named after its preferred storage unit back in the day. Chefs believed that pies with a high sugar content could be stored in large chests at room temperature until spoilage a few days later. While that may have flown back in the day, we don\u2019t recommend storing this lemon chess pie at room temperature!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pucker up!
