CREAMY SOUR CREAM LEMON PIE
To me, there’s no more iconic dessert than pie. So many varieties… from cherry to chocolate, no bake to frozen… you really can’t go wrong! I don’t know about you guys, but I think summer just screams LEMON, so you know I had to bring a lemon pie to the table!
I’ve never been a meringue fan, so when I was flipping through an old Taste of Home magazine and saw this recipe for a sour cream lemon pie, it was like a total lightbulb moment… this was THE pie.
I love these kind of pies, where there isn’t a whole lot of actual pie baking going on. I consider myself a reasonably good baker, but pies always seem to fail me. I have a fantastic crust recipe, that I know works (it’s my great Grandmother’s), yet I always seem to mess it up, and I can NEVER get the beautiful crimps on the edges. So usually I stick to cookies, skillet brownies and various no-bake desserts. It’s easier than feeling like the only dolt around that can’t bake a decent pie lol.
Speaking of pies, did I ever tell you guys about the time I made pecan pie “soup”? OMG, I have to tell you… even though it’s embarrassing lol. About 8 or 9 years ago, I decided I wanted to bring the pecan pie to our family Thanksgiving. Now bear in mind that my Mom makes an AMAZING pecan pie, so I already had some big shoes to fill, and I had never even attempted pie before. Go big or go home right? Instead of trying to make a crust from scratch, I figured I would buy a frozen one and no one would even know. Except I didn’t know that I’d have to thaw it before baking….
