Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Crust
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine flour and butter until crumbly. Add cold water gradually until the dough forms. Roll it out and fit into a pie dish.
Blind Bake
Place parchment paper over the crust and fill it with baking weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove weights carefully and let cool.
Make the Filling
In another bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and softened butter until smooth. Pour this mixture into your cooled crust.
Bake Until Set
Return the pie to the oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. It will firm as it cools.
Whip Your Topping
While cooling, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar to taste; incorporate gently until fluffy but not overbeaten.
Serve With Flair
Once cooled completely, top your Lemon Supreme Pie generously with whipped cream. Garnish with lemon zest or slices for an extra pop of color before serving!
Now you’re ready to treat yourself and others to this zesty delight! Enjoy every refreshing slice of Lemon Supreme Pie as if you’re basking under a sunny sky—because who doesn’t love a little citrusy cheer?
