Unlike other lemon pies, this recipe uses whole thinly sliced lemons. This method gives a more intense citrus flavor without any extra effort.
3. No Juicing Needed
You only need lemons, sugar, eggs, butter, and a pie crust. The filling is made from fresh lemon slices, creating a rich, custard-like texture.
2. Simple Ingredients
A buttery, homemade crust pairs perfectly with the zesty filling. For a shortcut, a store-bought crust works just as well and saves time.
4. Flaky Pie Crust
The sugar blends with the lemons to cut the tartness, creating a perfectly sweet and tangy filling. The result is a pie that’s rich but not overpowering.
5. Balanced Sweetness
This pie is naturally plant-based and can be made gluten-free. It’s a great dessert for vegans, those with dairy allergies, or anyone wanting a healthier treat.
6. Perfect for Any Diet
It stores well in the fridge or freezer, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert. Just slice and serve when ready for a stress-free, refreshing treat! 4o
