Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe Our Favorite Pie Crust, unbaked
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 4 lemons)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-ounce envelope)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line crust with aluminum foil; leave an overhang and fold over edge. Fill crust with dried beans, pie weights, or uncooked rice. Place crust on a baking sheet; bake until set and lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Remove foil (and beans). Bake without foil, 5 to 10 minutes more; if crust bubbles up, press down gently. Cool.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, sour cream, and salt; gradually whisk in lemon juice. Pour mixture into crust. Place on a baking sheet; bake until barely set (center of pie will still wiggle slightly), 25 to 35 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Make topping: Place 2 tablespoons cold water in a small saucepan, and sprinkle with gelatin; let soften about 5 minutes. Heat mixture over very low heat, stirring, until gelatin dissolves. Let cool.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream and sugar until very soft peaks form. While beating, slowly add gelatin mixture, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, spread over cooled pie. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour or, loosely covered, up to 1 day.

LEMON SOUR CREAM PIE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Lemon Sour Cream Pie Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-45241

Number Of Ingredients 16

MERINGUE:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
3 egg yolks, beaten
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 cup (8-ounces) sour cream
1 pastry shell (9-inches), baked
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons sugar
Lemon peel strips, optional

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in the milk. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Blend a small amount into egg yolks; mix well. Return all to pan; mix well. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add butter, lemon juice and peel; mix well. Set aside. For meringue, beat egg whites until foamy. Add vanilla and cream of tartar. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form; set aside. Fold sour cream into the lemon mixture; pour into pastry shell. Cover with meringue, sealing to edges of pastry. Bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Garnish with lemon peel strips if desired. Cool completely. Store in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use cold butter and ice water. Cut the butter into small pieces and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, add the ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a store-bought one. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions before filling it.
  • For a smooth and creamy filling, use full-fat sour cream. You can also use a combination of sour cream and Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Be sure to zest the lemons and limes before juicing them. This will add a lot of flavor to the filling.
  • If you don't have any fresh citrus fruits, you can use bottled citrus juice. Just be sure to use 100% juice, not a juice cocktail.
  • To prevent the meringue from weeping, make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start whipping them. You should also whip them until they are stiff peaks, but not dry.
  • If you're using a kitchen torch to brown the meringue, be careful not to overdo it. You just want to brown the top of the meringue, not burn it.

Conclusion:

Citrus Sour Cream Pie is a refreshing and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The flaky crust, creamy filling, and tangy meringue are a winning combination that will please everyone at the table. With a little planning, this pie is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
