Ooooh, I
lemon! Recipe please
This reminds me of a pie we have in E Pa called "lush lemon". I wish I could get hold of the recipe, but it's a secret recipe

Lemon curd cream cheese pie
2 prepared 9" pie crusts (plain or graham)
4 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 & 1/3 cups granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 & 1/2 Tablespoons lemon zest
1 Tablespoon tangerine zest, can use all lemon if desired (reserve half a tablespoon of zest for garnish)
2/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (can add some tangerine juice if you like a less tart pie)
1/3 cup whole milk or half and half
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 - 8 oz pkgs of cream cheese (softened in microwave, 30 seconds at a time till soft)
1 large tub of sour cream (24 oz)
Powdered sugar, honey or agave nectar to taste
In a large bowl whisk eggs, sugar and flour. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into 2 - 9" prepared pie crusts, or 3 - 8" (I like graham cracker crusts). Bake for approximately 25 minutes at 325 degrees, remove before fully set (middles are still a little jiggly) pies will continue to cook once out of the oven. Place on racks to cool. When cool enough place in refridgerator for 3 hours, then top with sweetened sour cream, don't sweeten the sour cream too much, the tang it adds to the pie is delicious (I use 1/3 cup of agave nectar but you know better how sweet you like it ). Use reserved tangerine zest for garnish. I like to chill pie in freezer for 30 mins right before serving.
Note: You can zest your fruit a day (or a few days) ahead of time just mix with granulated sugar and put in an airtight container in the fridge (to keep it from drying out).
What a beautiful pie.
that's a double drool+ And thanks for posting the recipe too.
