LEMON CREAM PIE
Plan ahead the lemon curd needs to chill for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 2 days. A vanilla crumb, graham or chocolate crumb crust can be used for this pie. This pie is best prepared a day ahead to allow the lemon/cream filling to set properly or chill for a minumum of 6 hours. This pie is wonderful!
