Quick and easy, but definitely add MORE LEMON JUICE and a drop of YELLOW FOOD COLORING! :)

I love the fact this pie has only three ingredients (well, four if you count the pie crust). I also increased the fresh lemon juice to 1/2 a cup and added a little less than 1/4 teaspon of lemon zest. It was really sweet and tangy. I stirred the whipped cream into the lemon/milk mixture, but didn't use all of whipped cream. Just enough to mellow out the lemon and to add more volume to the pie. I added a view drops of yellow food coloring to give it more of a lemon color, and spread whipped cream on the top. Sprinkled a little bit of lemon zest on the top and put a few lemon rinds for decoration. Stuck it in the freezer to firm up.

yummy. As a kid my mom made this pie all the time and her mom and so on. The only differnce between my family's recipe and this one is we use a 1/2 cup lemon juice.

This pie has a very good flavor. The directions say to chill the pie, it was a little too soft in the refrigerator but was good when left if the freezer.

So easy and everyone wants this recipe-Delicious! I use 1 tsp Lemon Extract for more lemony flavor and started using homemade whipped cream, "Sweetened Whipped Cream" from this website, instead of CoolWhip but because the texture is softer I freeze it (partially thawed some think it's an ice cream pie!). I also sprinkle lemon zest on top.

This is an easy pie, not a gourmet pie, so you have to know what you're getting into and rate it on that basis. As such, I think it has a great flavor and texture. I'm a huge lemon fan so I added lemon zest (it will really heighten the lemon flavor without adding unwanted extra liquid), I did increase the juice to 1/2 cup, and reduced the whipped cream amount to 8 oz. I know that's a lot of changes, but that's what makes this a great easy recipe - you can tailor it to suit your taste without disastrous results. Give it a try.

Made this for my grandpa's birthday because he loves lemon pie. It was so easy and delicious. I did use about 2/3 cup lemon juice to make the filling extra tart.

So easy and So good. I usually make my own crusts, but when in a time crunch, a purchsed pie shell is just fine. Out of all the lemon pie recipes I've tried, this one takes the cake (I mean pie)

I just did one of my pet peeves... Rated a recipe good, but I rated it according to my changes. Anyway, I used mini premade graham cracker crust tarts. I also did not use coolwhip, I used real whipped cream. I also used a TON more lemon. I decorated with reserved whipped cream and then with lemon zest. WAYYYYY GOOD! Wonderful to look forward to after mowing the lawn.

Big hit!! Everyone loved it. I squeezed two fresh lemons and used bottled lemon juice to make up the difference. Turned out great!

Aside from feeling guilty about the calories, this recipe is incredibly good and takes less than 10 minutes. I would add thinly sliced pieces of lemon on top shortly before serving and a dollop or two of whipped cream. Great recipe!

A very good pie, but could be a little more tangy and so I think more juice would give it the little extra kick it deserves! Thanks.

This seemed so easy that I was hesitant to try it, but I'm so glad I did! I made this for a garden club luncheon, it was a hit. I didn't have lemons so I used Limes instead and zest from the limes to give more flavor, then topped with cool whip. I think the lime is more flavorful. My family loves this pie also. This recipe is a keeper.

I've made this recipe for years, and it's fabulous. However I use 1 cup of lemon juice to 16 oz. of Cool Whip. I also usually make my own pie crust. It is a family staple for me, and I never make recipes this quick and easy.
