Sour Cream-Lemon Pie Recipe

Reviewed on May. 14, 2013 by mrs.mark

We loved this pie. It was creamy with just the right mixture of sweet and tart. I made two changes. I substituted 1/2 cup of maple syrup instead of the sugar, and I added a tsp of cream of tarter to the whipped cream since I wanted it to hold its shape for a couple of days.

Hubby called this pie a "home run" and that was without whipped cream on top. No need for extra calories/fat. Excellent flavor and so easy to make.

I made this pie last night and came out so so i would actually cut back on the amount of lemon juice and not use the lemon zest... it was just to lemonie for my taste buds ... maybe in addition to the sour cream thrown in a tub of cool whip

We found another version of this in a little local grocery store in Lincoln City, OR and I had to search for the recipe so I could make it once I got home. I found this one and knew it would be good, and it didn't disapoint us. This is the best pie EVER!! I have already made one with a homemade cookie crumb crust and it was awesome. I am making it with Trader Joe's pie crust tonight and my husband is already drooling. Make this....it's worth it!!

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!!

>uwasv_waya Why would you even be on a recipe site? Instant lemon pudding? Come on...

An easy way is to buy a ready made graham cracker crust and use instant lemon pudding. A can of redi whip and you are done. Why waste all of this time and the un-needed lemon peel? Not to mention the work and money.

you could also substitue a regular or chocolate graham cracker crust for a different twist.

1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

3 tablespoons sugar

1/3 cup stick margarine, melted

In a bowl, combine cracker crumbs and 3 tablespoons sugar. Stir in margarine. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then follow recipe for filling.
