This is a delicious way to end a warm summer evening! I found this easy no bake lemon pie recipe via Pampered Chef and made it for my son on his last night before going to Marine Officer Candidate School, and it was dreamy! And it was so simple! I made it the day before serving and it was delicious! So whether you need a fun, easy dessert for a barbecue with friends, or for a special occasion, this is the perfect dessert to bring! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! And don’t forget, my goal is to create or modify recipes that are easy and don’t keep you in the kitchen ALL day! Summer days are too short and beautiful for that!
No Bake Lemon Pie
I used a traditional pie crust when making this recipe! but you can easily make this a no bake recipe by using a store bought graham cracker crust. Or better yet, make your own graham cracker crust! No bake, stove top only!
Creamy Lemon Pie
Ingredients
- 1 Frozen Pie Crust , cooked according to directions *I used a frozen pie crust that I baked and cooled prior to filling. Or use a pre-made graham cracker crust!
- 2 Lemon
- 2 cups Water
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 2 Egg Yolks
- 1 package Lemon Cook and Serve Pudding (not instant) 2.9 ounce box
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 jar Marshmallow Creme 7.5 ounce jar
- 1 container Frozen Whipped Topping, thawed 8 ounces
Instructions
- Cook frozen pie crust according to the package and let cool while you make the filling. Feel free to make your own pie crust, however, my goal is always to adjust recipes so they are easy and fun to make! Who has time to spend all day in the kitchen?
- Zest one entire lemon. Set it aside for garnish. Juice both lemons. In a small saucepan, combine the following: 3 tbsp of lemon juice, water, sugar, egg yolks and pudding mix. Whisk well until blended. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil, stirring constantly! Remove from heat and add butter, stir until melted. Cool 10 minutes and stir prior to pouring the mixture into the pie crust. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
- In a medium bowl, combine marshmallow creme and whipped topping. Mix by hand until well combined. Add remaining 2 tbsp of lemon juice and stir until smooth and glossy. Spread whipped topping mixture over cooled pie and garnish with lemon zest and sliced lemons. Refrigerate another hour or until serving. Then enjoy!
