There is absolutely nothing wrong with this lemon cream pie. \u00a0Nothing at all. \u00a0Simple flavors, creamy filling, slightly tart and slightly sweet with a crunchy, buttery crust. \u00a0There is one lone slice left in the fridge and I am tempted to eat it for breakfast. \u00a0It can’t be any worse than a donut, right?<\/p>\n

This came about at the last minute the other night when some sweet friends brought dinner for us after I’d been out of town all week. \u00a0Since they were bringing everything, I said I’d make something for dessert. \u00a0It was 5 o’clock. \u00a0As fate would have it, I had everything I needed for this pie, including a box of Mi-Del graham crackers<\/a> that, in my opinion, took this pie to a place it would never have gone with a box of Honey Maid. \u00a0They’re more substantial in texture and flavor and provided a great base for the pie.<\/p>\n

I started this pie at 5 and we ate it at 8. \u00a0With 2 hours of that being chilling time this pie is pretty quick and easy. \u00a0And there isn’t really an hour of active time since cooling time for the crust and pie is factored into the hour. \u00a0What I’m saying is that if you’re in a time crunch and want to give something more impressive than a box of Oreos to dinner guests, make this pie.<\/p>\n
