Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 1 pre-made pie crust or homemade
  • 1 egg white beaten (for brushing)
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy cream whipped
For the Lemon Filling:
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 egg yolks beaten
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp butter
For the Topping:
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Lemon slices or zest for garnish (optional

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork, brush with beaten egg white, and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream. Spread evenly over the cooled crust.
  3. Prepare the Lemon Filling: In a saucepan, whisk sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add water and cook over medium heat until thickened. Slowly whisk in egg yolks and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in lemon juice, zest, and butter until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the lemon filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
  5. Add Topping & Serve: Before serving, spread or pipe whipped cream on top and garnish with lemon slices or zest. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Chill the pie overnight for a firmer texture.
  • Swap homemade whipped cream for store-bought to save time.
