Ingredients
- 1 (4-ounce) package cook and serve 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)

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.

So where's the meringue? This is lemon cream pie. For those of you who used the wrong pudding....read the recipe.....you have to cook it. You don't have to cook instant pudding. But you are right, the recipe should specify which type pudding.
The pie is good, but it's not a lemon meringue pie.

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.
