Lemon Sour Cream PIe

Do you know how many comments you can get on facebook when you talk about pie???

A LOT.

I wanted ideas for Sunday pie and there were some new ones I'd never tried! Grapefruit pie... There's a creamy version and a more jelled version! Apple/plum pie????

Doesn't that sound wonderful????

But I ended up with Lemon Cream Sour Cream pie so I'm sharing that here today! I found the same recipe on several sites, so I made Ruthy-family adjustments and we gave this recipe a TWO THUMBS UP!!

Prepare pie crust.


Mine is a deep dish pie pan ($5.98 from Walmart, LOVE IT!!!)




2 Cup sugar
1/2 cup Corn Starch
2 Cups milk
6 egg yolks
1 cup lemon Juice

1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1 cup sour cream

Measure sugar and corn starch into pan and mix well. Stir or whisk in milk, egg yolks and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly...



(AUTHOR NOTE: IT IS NOT GOOD TO WALK AWAY AND ERASE THE VIDEOS ON YOUR CAMERA CARD AT THIS POINT BECAUSE IT IS LIKELY YOU WILL SCORCH THE HECK OUR OF THE BOTTOM OF THE PUDDING MIX... THIS IS ME, SAVING YOU FROM YOURSELF....)

Okay, so let's begin again, pay attention this time and don't walk away from the pudding....



sigh.....

Once you've cooked the delicious unburned pudding until it bubbles and thickens, then remove from heat, add butter, whisk in.... chill pudding. When cool, stir in the sour cream. Pour into cool pie shell or vanilla cookie crust.

Chill.



Top with whipped cream, if desired.

Whipped Cream:

2 cups fresh whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar

Put into deep mixing bowl. Mix on high speed until peaks form...

Aren't these gorgeous? Grandma's 83rd birthday today... So these are going to her house in a little while! We could use a glimpse of spring around here right now!

And we had a wonderful time at Grandma's 83rd birthday party! Pizza... cake.... ice cream... soda/pop.... and cute kids all over the place! We packed that house! It was kind of funny... four generations of Blodgetts meant standing room only at Great-grandma's house.

And it was perfect.

  1. Yum, just the notion of this pie makes me think of warmer weather. Lemon anything screams spring and summer to me.

    Intrigued by the sour cream in the recipe. It's something I'd never try without your say so. LOL. And I actually have all the ingredients in the house except for the cornstarch. I might just have to make this pie to celebrate the fact that our temps are climbing. They're going to be above zero all week. And the birdies have started chirruping again though the poor things probably froze their feathers off this past week. Love that birdie optimism though. Spring will come.

    1. THE BIRDS!!!!! Isn't that just the most beautiful, wonderful sound? Except, of course, for spring peepers!!!! ♥ the spring peepers. But I love the chorus of birds (well, chorus might be generous, I've heard exactly TWO... but that's two more than I heard a week ago, Kavalicious!!!!

  2. We are celebrating the ManO's parents' 62nd anniversary tomorrow. Isn't it wonderful to be able to celebrate those long lived relations?

    The pie looks wonderful and I am grateful to know that others have "just looked away for a second" and burned pudding. But I am grateful because it is one time in my life now that I force myself to concentrate on one thing and one thing only!

    2. 75 years married. 75 years married to the same person. Like the same person you married at age 19.

      (Forgive me, just thinking out loud!!!!) This is awesome, actually, and admirable, and Happy anniversary to both!

      I tend to burn pudding. You'd think I'd learn, Julie!!!!

  3. Oh, yes. I've been looking forward to this recipe ever since I saw your Facebook post!

    Birthdays are a wonderful thing to celebrate, aren't they? Especially when you can get four generations together to do it. FOUR! :)

    1. Four generations. We have four generation pics with Dave's family. None with mine because my parents were 38 and 40 when I was born, so I'd lost them by the time we had grandchildren. But in Dave's family, we have pics with so many of them. How wonderful is that????? It's a family legacy. Jan, that sounds remarkable and awesome!

  4. I made this today and it was delicious! I should have made two since we were having company and it's gone and my husband didn't get a slice. :) I may have to make it again.
    And I cooked the pie shell. Yay me!

    1. You are amazing! You cooked the pie shell, laughing!!!!! Oh my stars, I think our flub ups are even more fun than the successes, because kitchen fails RULE!!!! I loved the creamy texture how it magnified once you added the sour cream in, and I wouldn't have noticed it was sour cream if I didn't know it because of the sweet/sour lemony taste already. I'm so glad you liked it! I bet it would be great with a vanilla wafer cookie crust, too. And I never got to making the whipped cream topping, we just mowed the pie on its own.
