Lemon Supreme Pie

April 19, 2008 By Anna 9 Comments

This recipe is originally from Taste of Home, where its creator says she modeled it after her favorite pie from a “local coffee shop” which based most other Google references, including the Bakers Square web site, is Bakers Square.

People must really love this pie, because the recipe is everywhere. I can see why it’s so popular. It’s attractive, very lemony and easy…..maybe even fool proof. I didn’t read the directions very thoroughly and interpretted “two packages of cream cheese” as two 8 ounce packages even though the recipe clearly states one 8 oz package and one 3 oz package. So I used 5 extra ounces of cream cheese and still had a good pie. Or at least Todd thought so.

By the way, I cut this pie about 3 hours after chilling. The recipe says to chill overnight. So you can serve this pie after three hours, but it might look like this! I’m not sure what happened to the whipped topping border. It drooped like crazy, which is unusual for Cool Whip.
