This lemon pie is so easy! You make the filling in your blender! Just 5 ingredients. A whole lemon is mixed with, eggs, butter, vanilla and sugar creating a creamy, tart lemon pie topped with fresh whipped cream!

Ingredients

  • 1whole lemon, washed & seeds removed ((fresh from tree & in season is best))
  • 4 largeeggs
  • ½ cupbutter, melted ((i used salted))
  • 1 teaspoonvanilla ((i use this))
  • 1 ½ cupssugar
  • 1piecrust, unbaked ((i use a frozen deep dish))
  • 1 cupwhipping cream
  • 2 tablespoonssugar

Directions

  1. 1

    Take your pie crust out of the freezer or make yoru own. I used a frozen deep dish pie crust and it worked great. I placed it on a cookie sheet for support. If using a homemade pie crust in a glass dish, you don't need to do this.

  2. 2

    Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

  3. 3

    Wash your lemon well then cut up and remove all the seeds. (No need to peel it, you will blend the whole lemon!) Plae in your blender.

  4. 4

    Add the eggs, butter, vanilla and sugar. Blend until smooth. I start at powder 5 then go up to 10.

  5. 5

    Pour the mixture into your piecrust. Bake for about 40 minutes or until set.

  6. 6

    Let the pie cool, then chill in the fridge.

For the topping

  1. 1

    Place a bowl and beaters in the freezer for 20 minutes (not manditory). Pour in your whipping cream and sugar. Whip until peaks form.

  2. 2

    Slice pie and serve chilled with a dollop of whip cream on top. This can be enjoyed warm (it just won't be as firm) or at room temperature but we prefer it chilled.
