I grew up with my mom making the pie all the time. As I grew up, it became my absolute favorite dessert. Mom got in the habit of making this pie for me for my birthday and so it was. Today, I am making this pie for my daughter, who like me looks forward to it every time. It's a quick recipe, no baking, and ready by evening if you get it in the refrigerator in the morning. It doesn't have a strong lemon taste, but it's light and airy - very addicting. I don't know where the recipe came from, otherwise, I would give credit where credit is due. So, without further ado.....
THE PIE!
1 c. sugar
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 - 3 oz. pkg lemon jello
1 c. hot water
2 pkgs. Dream Whip (makes 4 cups)
1 c. ice cold milk - 2%
1 tsp. vanilla
2 graham cracker pie crusts
Beat together the sugar and cream cheese. Dissolve the jello in the hot water; add to the cheese mixture. Prepare the two packages of dream whip with the milk and vanilla. Add to the cheese mixture. Pour into graham cracker crust or layer in parfait glasses alternating with crumbs. Makes 2 yummy pies!
hello there, and thanks for stopping by my blog, this recipe is awesome looking on this pie... love the lemon pie!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother did exactly the same thing, I , so when you cut into it you would get some egg. I dont do the eggs at all since no one will eat them, and worried about salmonila.. its funny about the tradition as it is the same, no one worried about a thing then, and they lived to be in the 90's here! Grandma was born in Rome ITaly. My mom boiled them first added the eggs after they were colored. I just love the annisette flavoring,thanks again for visiting me Claudia :)
I'm sooo making this! Hope you are well!
