I agree with other posters, freeze this pie! Even if you don't want to serve it frozen, put it in the freezer for 2-3 hours then in the refrigerator. It makes a world of difference, the pie holds up much better.

Thinking about making an orange and lime version. Easy, fast and great recipe

I have made this several times with one change - I freeze the pie, which does wonders for the texture. The last one I made, I tried refrigerating it overnight per the instructions. Back into the freezer it went! I highly suggest serving this frozen. I have also made this with lime and it was amazing!

Just won 3rd place at my neighborhood pie contest! Love this pie for summertime. Although it is a little wobbly, so I may try adding a some Knox Gelatine as someone suggested below to tighten it up a bit. Great flavor!

Ok, so I omitted the lemon juice and maybe that was the issue, but this pie did not set up. It was ok but looked a mess.

How can something this simple be so good? I don't know but it is! I have made it several times, in both graham cracker crusts and pretzel crusts and it is always fabulous. I had a guest who claimed not to be a "dessert person", but she not only ate the whole slice, she happily took home another when I offered it to her.

I've made this pie twice. As other reviewers mentioned, the pie did not set up overnight and was a bit wobbly. I found a couple other similar recipes online with unflavored gelatin in them.

I then made this recipe from Emeril and dissolved 1/2 tsp of an envelope of Knox unflavored gelatin in 1/4 c reserved boiling lemon juice and mixed that into the pie filling at the end, just before putting into pie shell.

As premade crusts have an artificial taste when paired with these fresh-tasting ingredients, I make my own nilla wafer crust with 40 nilla wafers and 1/4c melted butter. I also topped with reddi-whip before serving. One last note, I microwaved the cream cheese minus box/wrapping in the mixing bowl on a very low setting for about 1-2 mins to make it room temp,then added it to the sweetened condensed milk. Overall, a very good recipe in need of a couple tweaks.

I learned this recipe over 30 years ago in my school Home Ec class. It has been a fast fill in for dessert many times. It is one of my familys favorite.
