My sister shared this recipe with me and it is simply delicious. The secret to the great flavor is using fresh lemon juice. —Nanette Sorensen, Taylorsville, Utah

Love the flavor of this pie, however, the second layer is way to thick!!. I would add atleast one more cup of milk, w/pudding, so that it would spread.

I planned to make it for Xmas, but hate to make a new recipe if I'm not sure how it will turn out. Did a "dry run" yesterday and OMG - the best lemon pie I've ever eaten.

Very good, lemony, creamy pie. I suggest not letting the first layer cool too much or it will be difficult to spread. Whisk it one last time right before trying to spread to ensure a smooth consistency. For the second layer, I suggest not letting it sit for two minutes but instead spreading it immediately onto the first layer. Again, much easier to spread. And lastly, I added a little bit of lemon extract to the third layer to have the flavor in all three layers as another reviewer suggested. I think I'll add a tiny bit of yellow color to that layer and then put dollops of cool whip on top of each slice and top with a raspberry or a few blueberries and some lemon curls. Mmmm!

I can't believe TOH kitchen tested this. Not worth the time and $.

This pie is quite involved, but the steps are timed out to where you can clean up the previous step and then prepare the next one...important in my book. The flavor is very fresh and I got many compliments on it. Also, I used a beater to mix the whipped topping in the last step and it came out very smooth and creamy. Delicious!

I had two gatherings in one week, so this was perfect because it is already doubled. It was easy to make and everybody loved it, I only had a couple of small pieces left each time (and that was because the first gathering there were only six of us and the other gathering we had a second dessert as well). I got several requests for the recipe adn will definitely make it again! It wasn't hard and it wasn't too strong on the lemony flavor, it was perfect!

This was delicious. I took it to our Bible study and was asked for the recipe 4 times. Can you use Real Whipping Cream instead of Cool Whip?
