Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. This ensures that your pie will bake evenly and achieve the perfect consistency.

Prepare the Filling:

In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks using a whisk until they become smooth and creamy. This step sets the foundation for the pie's rich and velvety texture.

Cool and Chill:

Once out of the oven, allow the pie to cool to room temperature. Afterward, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours. This chilling period enhances the flavors and sets the pie to the ideal consistency.

 Commonly Asked Questions:

How long can I store this pie in the refrigerator?

The pie remains fresh for 3-4 days when stored in the refrigerator. Covering it to prevent the whipped cream from drying out is advisable.

Is it okay to use a store-bought pie crust?

Certainly! To save time, a store-bought graham cracker or pastry crust will work perfectly well.

Can I substitute Cool Whip topping for whipping cream?

It's not recommended. Homemade Whipped Cream is less sweet and complements the lemon flavor better than Cool Whip.

What makes this pie so delicious?

The delightful combination of lemon and sour cream gives the pie the perfect lemon flavor—neither too tart nor overly sweet.
