Layered Lemon Pies Recipe

Reviewed on Feb. 06, 2013 by yucca2

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.

My whole family just loves the pie and asks me to make it on all the holidays and it may sound complicated but it is super simple to make, and taste Great.

Very cool and lemony...kids loved it.

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?

I love this pie! The topping is especially good for other uses like making a strawberry shortcake, it is more stable than whipping cream and lasts a lot longer in the frig.This pie also keeps very well in the frig without breaking down too soon.

Fabulous! A real hit everywhere I take it. I like to make it in a 10 inch pan so it is deeper. You only get one pie but I like a thick filing.

I have made this recipe 3 times and it is great. I put real lemon juice in it and I also put lemon juice in every layer to give it a tangy taste.

I was looking for a recipe for TANGY lemon pie. This is not it! This recipe is good and the pie is very creamy, if that's what you are looking for.....but it doesn't have a TANGY lemon flavor.

I made this recipe for Easter dinner. It was time consuming, and my bottom layer didn't set up very well, but it was still a hit. I will definitely make this again. I found that the second layer was a little hard to spread, but I plan on piping it on the next time that I make it. Great recipe!

Family loved this. My third layer didn't look as pretty as the picture, so maybe next time I'll increase the cool whip.

I halved all ingredients to make just one pie. I used one egg yolk and a wee bit more lemon juice. The first layer didn't set quite right. Could one of those things be the reason?? The flavor is GREAT! Polly

Absolutely wonderful ! The best lemon pie you will ever eat ! I used the premade Keebler Shortbreat crusts. They are smaller, so I had to reduce CoolWhip to 8 oz in the topping, but no change in taste. Definitely a keeper & so easy, even my hubby can make it !
