A friend and I often visit a local restaurant for pie and coffee. When they stopped carrying our favorite, I got busy in the kitchen and created this version, which we think tastes even better! The combination of the cream cheese and tart lemon is wonderful. -Jana Beckman, Wamego, Kansas

  • Yield: 6-8 Servings
25 15 40

Ingredients

  • Frozen deep-dish pie shell
  • LEMON FILLING:
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar, divided
  • 6 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 4 to 5 drops yellow food coloring, optional
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • CREAM CHEESE FILLING:
  • 2 packages (one 8 ounces, one 3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups whipped topping
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  • Line unpricked pie shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
  • For lemon filling, combine 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; add the remaining sugar. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat; stir in butter, lemon peel and food coloring if desired. Gently stir in lemon juice. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • For cream cheese filling, beat the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Fold in whipped topping and lemon juice. Refrigerate 1/2 cup for garnish. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture into pie shell; top with lemon filling. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Place reserved cream cheese mixture in a pastry bag with a #21 star tip; pipe stars onto pie. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 6-8 servings.

This is a favorite at family gatherings. Tastes just like a bakery. The only change was the whipped topping, if I going to go through the trouble to make a pie from scratch, I'm going to use real whipped cream

I made this recipe from your June/July 1998 issue this evening. The lemon filling didn't thicken even after cooking 8 minutes. I noticed your recipe on your website reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup and also the lemon juice to 1/2 cup. I had to toss my filling and make as the recipe shows on your website. So will have to wait and see if it thickens.

I'm so excited to get this recipe. My mom and I used to go to a restaurant when I lived in California called Bakers Square just for this pie (20+ years ago). Unfortunately they closed down and I haven't had it since. It was my FAVORITE pie of all time. Thank you for sharing it. Donna Lefurgey, Chino Valley, AZ
