This is a favorful delicious recipe. It was really easy to make, however I made your crust recipe also and messed it up by rolling the crust to thick. The filling was wonderful....crust alittle tough (my error). I think ythe recipe for crust would be plenty for a deep dish or larger pie pan ( I used 9"). Will definitely be making again in the future! Thanks KITTENCAL !

    My aunt said it was the best lemon pie ever, and that is a major compliment from her, I did not use the lemon zest, but it was a big hit with the family, I should have made two because it was gone....thanks

    This is a fantastic pie! I made it for Easter dinner, and everyone raved. I did have to cook the filling a few minutes longer than the directions stated, but I think this is because I've never made a cream pie from scratch before, and didn't know what the filling would look like when it was to the correct stage. I Zaarmailed Kittencal and she and was very helpful. I just needed to cook it a little longer, and it suddenly thickened up and cleared. After that it was a breeze. It has a very zippy lemon flavor, so will really please a true lemon lover like me! I made it with a shortbread crust, but am going to try it with a traditional crust next time, as I found this particular crust to be a little "thick" for the pie. Thanks Kitten for the terrific recipe and your help when I was fumbling my way through it!

    KITTENCAL; Finally made your superb, fabulous, SUPREME pie. This is a pie to "die for". The tartiness of the lemon sauce over the cream cheese is just fantastic. The telephone tech. came in to check my phones, and I gave him a piece to try and he almost ate the plate as well. Said that it's the best lemony pie he has ever had. Thank you for sharing and I will be making it again. "Uncle Bill"
