Lemon Sour Cream Pie
If you love lemon desserts, you’re going to love this pie! This recipe for sour cream lemon pie comes from my mother-in-law, who makes it almost every year for Thanksgiving. It’s that good! I’ve put my own twist on my mother-in-law’s lemon sour cream pie by serving it in a Shortbread Pie Crust, but it would also be delicious in a traditional pie crust like my Food Processor Pie Crust or Graham Cracker Crust.
One of the things I love about this sour cream lemon pie is that the filling doesn’t need to be baked! While the shortbread crust does require turning on your oven, it’s super simple to pull together. For more no-bake pie recipes, check out my Cookies and Cream Pie, S’mores Pie, Peach Cream Pie, Arkansas Possum Pie, and Banana Cream Pudding Pie.
Why This Recipe Works
- Easy lemon sour cream pie. From start to finish, this pie could not be simpler, especially if you use my press-in shortbread pie crust. The lemon custard is cooked in just a few minutes on the stovetop, then mixed with sour cream and poured into the prepared pie crust. Then you can stick it in the fridge and forget about it until it’s time to serve. Easy!
- Perfect flavor balance. In this lemon pie with sour cream, neither the lemon nor the sour cream is super overpowering. The homemade lemon filling mixed with sour cream provides just the right amount of tart lemon flavor in this creamy lemon pie.
- Great for gatherings. As I mentioned, this pie often makes an appearance at my in-laws’ Thanksgiving table. But this pie is also perfect for other holiday celebrations, as well as parties like baby showers or bridal showers. Whatever the occasion, it’s sure to be a hit!
