I made this pie for thanksgiving last week. My husband found it in the frig and needless to say it didn't make it to dinner the next day. I added a little lemon juise to the whip cream. This pie is the best

Recipe sounds excellent. I am adding it to my Thanksgiving list! It will be made according to recipe and the suggestion on making a pie with instant lemon pudding and can of whipped cream absolutely gives me goosebumps. Sounds totally gross!

I also agree, this is a delicious pie recipe and I wouldn't eat instant lemon pudding on a double dog dare, ugh. And it's not all that hard to mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter to make a crust, and it's a whole lot cheaper than buying one premade.

This pie is absolutely delicious. I have made it many times for family and friends and everyone loved it. A little more work, but well worth it.

I agree, kathidahl! This is a delicious lemon pie recipe and is a definite keeper. Recipes that use "real foods" aren't in the same league as those that use "boxed chemicals" for taste . . . not to mention health. Thanks for a great recipe Martha!!
