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.

Garnish with lemon peel strips if desired. Cool completely. Store in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute Greek yogurt or plain yogurt.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice will work, but the flavor won't be as bright.
  • If you like a sweeter pie, you can add more sugar to the filling. Start with 1 cup of sugar and taste the filling before adding more.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing will make the pie filling tough.
  • For a creamier pie filling, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. This will take about 45-50 minutes. Don't overbake the pie, or the crust will be dry and the filling will be curdled.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Lemon sour cream pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you're looking for a classic pie recipe that will be a hit with your friends and family, this is the one for you.
