Our aunt sent us this lemon cream pie recipe to our family email group and we knew we had to give it a try! With just 8 ingredients (including the pre-made crust!), you’ll have the sweet, creamy pie filling your belly in no time at all! We love citrus desserts in the summer and this one is a keeper! You’ll love this lemon cream pie recipe, so so good! Just like Grandma used to make! A simple lemon pie is only a few ingredients away! The beset part is this Lemon Cream Pie comes together with very little prep, is practically fail-proof, and is a pie everyone will love! Great summer recipe for sure.

Could you make this with a cooked pastry crust instead of a cookie/cracker based crust? Or would it get too soggy?
It would be great! Let us know if you try it!
