I’m so excited to share this pie with you today. You see, I’m not always so great at pie. It’s the crust that gets me… every time. Most days I have pie crust phobia! Is there such a thing? I think there must be. I have so many friends who are afraid to make a pie unless they buy a pre-made crust. The pre-made crusts are just not the same. They’re not! Homemade is best, and I have such an EASY crust recipe to share with you today.
Since winter is beginning to leave us and the days are getting warmer, lemons have been calling my name and asking me to bake them into a Lemon Sour Cream Pie. So it’s time to get rid of my fear of making pie crust and bake myself a pie!
How to Make Cream Cheese Pie Crust:
This cream cheese pie crust from the Crisco website has just 4 ingredients (shortening, cream cheese, flour and salt). It’s an incredibly EASY recipe to make. I use Crisco Baking Sticks, which are super easy to measure since you can just cut the stick at the exact measurement you need and store the rest for another recipe. The ingredients are combined with a hand mixer, and it takes about 2 minutes to do so!
Here’s the best part: this crust does not even have to be rolled out. Yep, you can bake a pie with homemade crust and you don’t even need a rolling pin. In this recipe, you just use your hands to pat the crust into your pie plate.
Just pat it all into the bottom and up the sides, pinch the top all the way around, and bake. That’s it!
I filled my baked crust with a beautiful lemon sour cream filling.
And I topped it with whipped cream and lemon peel.
Lemon Sour Cream Pie
This is the perfect, creamy, delicious, lemony pie to celebrate spring or summer and to accompany the warmer days ahead! My son always points out that the crust is the best part about this pie. It’s flaky and perfect! I personally adore the creamy lemony filling. It’s addicting!
If you love creamy pie recipes, you might also enjoy my Chocolate Cream Pie or my Banana Cream Pie. This Blueberry Cream Pie looks quite delicious too.
