Lemon Custard Pie
This pie captures a true little slice of heaven. Old fashioned taste and super easy to make.
I recently saw this recipe in one of my favorite magazines, Taste of Home and knew I had to try it out. I love lemon!!! It immediately brought back wonderful memories of the Lemon Meringue pies my grandmother would lovingly make for us as children. There is something about a lemon custard pie that just brought the sweetest thoughts into my mind. I definitely wanted to treat my family to these same wonderful memories that I was sure this pie would bring for years to come.
It definitely did not disappoint at all. The creamy texture and delicious soft taste of lemon was a huge hit with my family. I can not wait for the next holiday so that I can make one to serve to my entire family. They definitely will be impressed and I would rate this pie as EASY to make.

Wow! If this is anything like lemon custard from Ritters, my mom would be ecstatic. Yum!!! I love custard pies! Visiting from Crafty and Delicious Party. 🙂
This pie was a big hit at a family get together. I followed the recipe except I used 1/2 lemon juice and cut back the milk to 3/4 cup. I definitely will add this to my favorites.
