Lemon Sour Cream Pie
Lemon Sour Cream Pie
Lemon Sour Cream Pie - quick homemade lemon and sour cream filling topped with fresh whipped cream. SO light and delicious! A new favorite!! Great for potlucks and the holidays.
This recipe was inspired by our trip to Portland this spring. We went out to Portland for the Indulge Conference. We had SO much fun eating around the city. One of our favorite spots was Tilt. Lauren, who put on the conference, recommended it to our group for dinner. She said the burgers were great and to make sure we got a slice of the Lemon Sour Cream Pie.
Lauren was right the burgers were great and the Lemon Sour Cream Pie was not to be missed. I had never heard of Lemon Sour Cream Pie, but I am now a huge fan! It was crazy good. Even though I was stuffed from everything we ate for dinner (and breakfast and lunch), I managed to wolf down a piece of the pie. SO good! I knew I had to come home and make my own version.
The pie was really easy to make. You could make the filling a day ahead of time and spread it in the crust when you are ready to serve it. I love to top my pies with fresh whipped cream, but you could also use Cool Whip if you are in a hurry. Either way, this Lemon Sour Cream Pie will be at all of my summer cookouts, potlucks and at the holiday table this year. Enjoy!
