Ingredients

  • 1 (4-ounce) package lemon pudding mix
  • 3/4 cup superfine sugar
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 baked pie crust (in a 9-inch deep pie plate)
  • Lemon Whipped Cream, recipe follows

Directions

In a medium saucepan, mix together the pudding mix and sugar. Slowly whisk in the milk and lemon juice until smooth. Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl and add them to the pan. Whisk until incorporated. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula until thickened. Allow to cool in an ice bath. Pour the filling into the pie crust and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Cut into wedges and serve with Lemon Whipped Cream.

Lemon Whipped Cream:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Candied lemon peel, garnish

In a chilled mixing bowl add the heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice and powdered sugar. Using a handheld mixer, beat until soft peaks form. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with candied lemon peel. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Since the difference between a lot of wasted indredients and a pie that could be served I had to give this a very low rating. IF the only way this will set up is to use cook and serve pudding it should have been stated in the recipe. I know I should have read the reviews but if Food Network post a recipe I think it should be noted as such. I strongly suggest you use Alton Browns recipe and totaly forget this one. The topping is a keeper but not on this pie too much to change to get the flavor you want.

    I'm sorry I didn't read the reviews first so I would have known which type pudding mix to use. It definitely should have been specified in the recipe. I may try it again using the cook and serve pudding. Just feel bad about the waste. I did like the whipped cream.
