Calling all lemon lovers! And all non-lemon lovers! It really doesn’t matter what your thoughts are on lemon desserts, because this is a dessert in a league entirely of its own.
I will be the first to admit that I typically don’t like lemon-y sweets. Lemon bars, lemon pies, lemon curd? None of it really appeals to me. However, I absolutely love this creamy lemon pie. That’s my testimonial for all the non-lemon lovers. Just give it a try – I dare you not to like it.
And why wouldn’t you try it, since you probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen right now?
I should also mention that although this is called “Grandma’s Creamy Lemon Pie”, I don’t know if the recipe is really my Grandma’s. She is the one who introduced me to this little slice of heaven, and it always reminds me of her, so I’m going to hold firmly to the belief that this recipe is “hers”.
And best of all, Grandma’s Creamy Lemon Pie is beautifully easy to make!
