Lemon Pie Recipe

Happy Friday, ya'll!! If you are like me, you are glad that the weekend is upon us. I wanted to quickly share a recipe for a delicious Lemon Pie. I found the recipe in a Southern Living recipe magazine that I picked up last weekend on Wilmington Island on the way to the beach (am I weird for reading recipe magazines on the beach, in a bikini? huh). Any ways, I finally rounded up all the ingredients to make this last night and it didn't disappoint. I love a lemon or key lime pie. Especially during the summer! So, I think I will add this to my recipe book.

Ingredients

• 2 boxes (3.4 ozs) lemon pudding mix
• 1 can (12 ozs) evaporated milk
• 1 Tbsp. lemon zest
• 2 packages cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 can lemonade concentrate
• 1 graham cracker pie crust (I think you could actually make two pies with this recipe, because I had leftover filling)
• Whipped topping (Cool Whip or if you have time to make some from scratch)
• Lemons for garnish

Directions

1. Whisk together the pudding mix and the evaporated milk for about 2 minutes or until thickened.
2. Add the lemon zest to the pudding mixture, set aside
3. In another bowl, beat with an electric mixer the cream cheese and vanilla until fluffy.
4. Add the lemonade concentrate to cream cheese and beat until smooth.
5. Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth.
6. Pour the lemon mixture into the pie crust. Add whipped cream and garnish with lemons, if desired.
7. Refrigerate for 8 hours (I didn't!) before cutting.

That's it folks. It was really simple to make and super tasty. I suggest you give it a try. I mean, the recipe had me at cream cheese!
