Followed the recipe and directions exactly. My husband LOVES lemon meringue pie, but I can never get it right, so I decided to try this one instead and he said it was BETTER then lemon meringue! This will be a keeper. Thank you

Excellent pie! Made this for Easter and everyone loved it. A thick, rich, lemony filling. I made early in the day and topped with whipped cream at serving. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
