Lemon Cream Cheese Pie a light creamy pie with just enough lemon tartness to make your lips pucker and the cream cheese gives it a nice tang.

Lemon Cream Cheese Pie

This pie recipe comes together quickly and only has five ingredients in the filling. The perfect dessert when it is too hot to turn on the oven.

I have made this pie several times over the summer and it has been a hit every time. When Mike’s family was visiting Iย wanted something simple and something that would not take up a lot of my time.

Some of his family came back for a second piece of this pie, which is always a good sign.

This pie tastes amazing all on its own, but I like to top it with fresh fruit and sometimes I add a dollop of sweet whipped cream.

What types of fruits go well with lemon cream cheese pie?

I have served it with fresh strawberries and blueberries, but fresh raspberries, blackberries, or cherries would work great. You can always add your favorite fruits.

My son Jon asked me what makes the pie so light and creamy. The combination of the cream cheese and the whipped cream make this pie a nice light and creamy texture.
