Lemon lovers, this one’s for you! If you enjoy sour and zesty foods, this Lemon Butter Pie could be your new favorite treat. It is absolutely laden with tart lemon taste, which is then nicely balanced off with a hefty serving of butter. Top a slice with heaps of whipped cream, and you’re in for a great treat! You don’t need to take my word for it.
Here’s how to make this simple treat. If you’ve prepared lemon curd before, you’ll be familiar with the filling process. Lemon juice, eggs, egg yolk, and sugar are gradually cooked on the stovetop. To avoid cooked egg lumps, stir the mixture continually during cooking. When the temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit, take the pan off the heat and stir for several minutes to cool it down. The butter will then be slowly blended into the filling until it is smooth.
We used a prepackaged graham crust in this recipe, but you may create your own. Pour the filling into the crust and chill the pie for a few hours to solidify. Serve chilled with plenty of whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream. This pie is an excellent choice for a vibrant spring treat. Give it a shot, and it’s sure to be love at first bite!
