Ingredients
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
  • ½ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 pie crust, baked and cooled
  • Topping:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 lemon, for garnish

Directions
  1. Combine sugar, cornstarch, rind, juice, eggs and milk in heavy saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
  2. Remove pan from heat and stir in butter; cool to room temperature.
  3. Stir in sour cream and pour filling into baked and cooled pie crust.
  4. For topping, whip the whipping cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form. You can always use Cool Whip, but there’s nothing that beats real whipped cream for flavor!
  5. Spread whipped cream over top of pie.
  6. At serving, top each pie slice with a lemon "twist" (a thin slice of lemon, with one cut from the outer edge to the center of the slice, the 2 cut edges then separated in opposite directions and the ends poked into the whipped cream, making the slice “stand up” on the pie slice). I've also garnished each slice with a candy lemon "fruit slice" like you can buy at the candy stores...very pretty either way.
  7. Keep refrigerated.

Oh Krum....this sounds so summery and refreshing. Thank you for sharing!


I love lemon pie. This will be great. L.


Krummie, this sounds really divine and I love that it conjures fond memories for you. That is the icing in reality.

I will have to try this on a skinny day or an the-hell-with-it day.
