For all of you criticizing this recipe - what's the point? If you want to add eggs, add them. If you want to use fresh lemon juice, use it. If you want to use a graham cracker crust, use a graham cracker crust. The lady was just showing you how SHE does it. If you don't like it, move on.

[@lizgonzalez7652]

It would be a key lime pie...just as yummy 😁

[@LMmccallL57]

That would be a key lime pie. It's made the same way as lemon pies, but with a little less lime juice. Then again, some people may use the same amount.

[@LMmccallL57]

I'm about to make two for Christmas dessert, and someone said they bake their pies to cook the eggs. I'd never heard of that, so I searched online to see if it's a popular thing.. I've never baked my pies, (neither did my mom, grandmother....any family members) as the lemon juice "cooks" the eggs. About half a cup of juice is pretty standard for us, too. Mix milk, juice and eggs, pour into graham cracker crusts, let the pies sit in the fridge overnight and that's it. I love my pies firm, just like yours. :) Anyway, this is the first video I chose, and it doesn't show how to bake or use eggs at all. Just my luck. LOL! I did learn something interesting about the Cool Whip and may try it one day. I do have some in the fridge for my Watergate Salad and could use a little, but I don't know if I should try it out on the family just yet, when they're used to the way we always make it. Today is December 23, 2020, and I wish you and yours a blessed holiday season! Thanks for sharing! :)

My dad used to make this when I was little but it was the lime jello. Nobody knows the recipe and we lost him in 2015. I think yours is the closest but with different jellos,lol. Everybody is adding cream cheese and his was light like whipped cream, not cheesy. Thank you!

[@bethroundell8424]

My dad made lemon lime bisque, recipe from work. Used a can of evaporated milk well chilled in freezer and whipped like whipping cream. Made a 9x13 pan. Lots for family of 7 and friends. Reg size lime or lemon jello, juice of 1/2 lemon tsp zest, i think 1/2 cup of water, set to cool till egg white consistency. Beat up canned milk in large bowl, fold in jello. Pour over Graham crust in 9x13 pan. Spread, chill. Mom always sprinkled some reserved crumbs on top for garnish, I don't, they get soggy. I think I'm going to make one soon. No green jello tonight.

I am in the mood for some pie, maybe today and I love lemon. Have you done the stabilized whipped cream? If I can find in the local grocery (hit and miss), I use Dr Oetker Whip It. It stabilizes the whipped cream for hours at room temperature, and for days in fridge. I cup heavy whipping cream, 1 packet of Whip It, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, or more if you want a sweeter and a teaspoon vanilla. whip cream with beater until almost whipped, a few minutes. Add in whip cream stabilizer and beat until incorporated. Then beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Whipped cream can also be stabilized by using unflavored gelatin added to water and heated, then cooled.

Use real whipped cream. Either Reddi Whip that's in a can or make your own. TFW God bless

[@lifeissweet9826]

People bake it instead of not, because that is the old recipe and in those days of my grandmother, cool whip did not exist!! The best way is to use real lemons, condensed milk and 3 egg yolks on a vanilla wafer crust. Try it, you will love the vanilla wafer with the lemon filling. The lemon juice is necessary to "cook" the eggs and thickens it quickly. In the very old days of "ice boxes" not refrigerators, eggs were necessary.
