With only 4 ingredients this recipe for lemon pie is a creamy and easy fresh taste of summer that can be enjoyed all year long!

This delicious lemon pie is without a doubt one of my favorites, and if it looks familiar that is because it is literally my Easy Key Lime Pie recipe but with lemon juice.

When prepping them both for an event the garnishes on the top help to differentiate which is which.

I will slice a lemon and lime and arrange them on top accordingly.

Another option is to take a peeler to the lime and lemon peel and drop peel “curls” onto each pie. Delicious AND pretty!

As mentioned before, there are only 4 ingredients if you buy a pre-made crust, but I highly recommend my homemade graham cracker crust and the secret weapon to make it in minutes!

Bon appetit!

My cooking philosophy is to keep it healthy and easy.

Recipes at Hammers N Hugs will include all-natural ingredients that can often be frozen and have been tested and approved by friends and family!

Ah here it is. My secret weapon.

For less than $10, this tiny tool packs a punch. From breaking up hamburger meat to crushing crackers the GoodCook Chopper has become a must have tool in my kitchen!

I will often put the creamy mixture in the freezer until the crust is done baking. When using all-natural whipped topping it does not maintain form as well so putting it in the freezer helps keep it less runny. I will then put the entire pie in the freezer until ready to serve as it softens quickly once out.

Whipped topping usually comes in 2 sizes...this should be clarified. I'm assuming it's the smaller size. Thanks.

  My recipe calls for the smaller size but i get the larger one because i like the top to be coated with cool whip instead of just a dollop

  It really is up to you, not the author.

  Ive had this recipe for years. The original called for a small tub. I use a large tub, saving about 1/3 to spread on top of the finished lemon mixture so its a two toned pie. Also you can use lime juice instead of lemon for a nice lime pie.

Been making this since 1976!

Either size whipped topping works- there’s not a huge difference in taste.
