Sour cream lemon pie is one the best pies ever! The lemon layer on the bottom and the sour cream layer on top make for a perfect combination.

Sour Cream Lemon Pie

If you ever had sour cream lemon pie you know how good it is!! I’ve never been a meringue fan myself, but every other lemon dessert I will eat! This recipe is similar to Marie Callender’s Pie. I used the lemon filling recipe from allrecipes, it is really easy to make if you prep everything before starting it on the stove-top.

The sour cream layer took some work for me to figure out. I wasted more sour cream than I want to admit trying to get the sour cream layer the right consistency. I finally gave up and messaged a friend who I know has made it before, thank you to him!

If you don’t have a Marie Callender’s near you anymore, you now can make this pie. I hope to someday make the other pies, sour cream raisin, apple and blueberry.

Ingredients:

Crust:

  • 1 9 inch frozen pie crust (I use Marie Callender's)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. water

Lemon Layer:

  • 2 large lemons
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tbsp. corn starch
  • 2 Tbsp. salted butter (wait to add)
  • 4 large egg yolks (wait to add)

Sour cream layer

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Whipped Cream:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 4 Tbsp. sugar
US Customary - Metric

Instructions:

Crust:

  • Thaw your pie crust for 10 minutes on the counter. Whisk together the egg and tsp. of water. Using a pastry brush spread the egg wash over the pie crust. Prick the pie crust with a fork generously, even on the edges. Bake according to package directions. Mine took 12 minutes.

Lemon Layer:

  • Zest the lemons. Cut the lemons in half and juice them, discard seeds.
  • Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl, set aside. Have your butter out and ready as well.
  • In a medium sized sauce pan add the water, sugar, salt, lemon zest, lemon juice, flour and cornstarch, whisk together. Set the heat to medium high heat. Bring this mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. 
  • Add the butter to the lemon mixture, stir and let melt in.  Add a scoop of this hot mixture to the egg yolks bowl, stir them together. Add this egg yolk mixture to the rest of the lemon filling. Stir.  Let boil for 1 more minute, whisking constantly.
  • Pour the lemon filling in to the prepared and baked pie crust. Refrigerate for an hour or longer.

Sour Cream Layer:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl mix together the sour cream and sugar. Spread this mixture over the lemon layer. 
  • Bake for 7 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before making and topping with whipped cream in next step.

Whipped Cream

  • In a large bowl add the heavy cream and sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment, blend until stiff peaks form.
  • I used a 16 inch piping bag and a wilton 1M piping tip to decorate the pie with the whipped cream. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
