Lemon Cream Pie With Raspberries Recipe

November 21, 2012 By Meegan 8 Comments

The Holidays are when we cook and bake a lot around our home. I love the smell of all the flavors flowing through our home. But, I need to admit my favorite part of Thanksgiving is the array of desserts. Especially the pie-I love seeing a sea of pies. Most of all… my Lemon Cream Pie With Raspberries Recipe.

From the scratch crust to the homemade lemon filling, lightly sweetened whipped cream, and the fresh raspberries…

This has got to be one of my all-time faves:

My Pie Crust Recipe

2 C flour

1 C shortening

Mix with a pastry blender, and add 1 tsp salt.

Combine and add flour mixture with:

1/3 C milk

1 T vinegar

Roll dough on floured surface.

After laying crust in pie tin, poke crust with a fork all around the bottom and sides.

Makes 2 -10 inch pie crusts.

Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes, until light brown and crisp.

 Lemon Filling

4 egg yolks

1/3 C cornstarch

1 1/2 C water

1 C sugar

1/4 tsp salt

3 T butter

1/2 C fresh lemon juice

1 T lemon zest

In a 2 quart sauce pan whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Cooking over a medium low heat, gradually stir in water until smooth.  Stirring constantly with a whisk, until mixture is “clear”.  Stir in egg yolks, one at a time.  Still stirring, boil for 1 minute.  Remove from heat.  Stir in lemon juice, butter, and zest.  Pour into a cooled pie crust.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Whipped Cream

Pour 1 pint whipping cream into cold mixing bowl.

Add 1/4 C powered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Whip with beater until thick and light.

Spread over pie evenly.

Place fresh raspberries all over pie, so that each slice has a raspberry in every bite.
