I know that lemon meringue pie is a classic pie. However, when it comes to lemon flavor, I am not a fan of meringue. Instead a prefer a lemon supreme pie!

Yep, I don’t like meringue at all! It is partly due to the texture and partly due to the flavor. As a result, when I want a piece of lemon pie, this lemon supreme pie is the pie that I want.

This amazing lemon pie has your regular pie crust followed by a sweet creamy cream cheese layer. This layer is made with cream cheese, powdered sugar, Cool Whip, and lemon juice.

Then that layer is followed with a bright yellow lemon curd-like layer. This layer is made from sugar, cornstarch, salt, water, lemon juice, butter, and lemon peel. It is divine I tell you. You also add in some food coloring to up that bright yellow color.

This is my kind of lemon pie. It would be perfect to make for Mother’s Day and it’s the perfect way to end lemon week.

Lemon filling:

• ▢ 1 ¼ cups sugar divided
• ▢ 6 Tbsp cornstarch
• ▢ ½ tsp salt
• ▢ 1 ¼ cup water
• ▢ ½ cup lemon juice
• ▢ 2 Tbsp butter

• For the lemon filling: add 3/4 of the sugar to a sauce pan with the cornstarch and salt. Whisk in the water and blend until smooth.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and add in the remaining sugar and lemon juice. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes until thick and bubbly. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, lemon peel, and food coloring. Let cool to room temperature for about 1 hour.
