(Almost) No Bake Lemon Cream Pie
This deliciously creamy pie requires no baking other than to bake the simple graham cracker crust. It couldn’t be easier.
This pie is one creamy, delicious, refreshing dessert, plus it’s a snap to make!
My pie starts with a crust made out of vanilla wafers and a little butter and it’s SOOO good! That’s the only part of this pie that requires any baking (or cooking of any kind). If you really wanted this to be completely no-bake, you could use a pre-made graham cracker crust and the pie would be equally delish.
The filling takes no time to put together. Just whip some cream, beat together a package of cream cheese and lemon pie filling and then fold it in with the whipped cream and you’re done!
Lemon Cream Pie
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, brought to room temperature
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar, divided
- 1 (15 oz) can lemon pie filling, divided
- 8 oz whipping cream
- 3 cups vanilla wafers (I love Trader Joe’s)
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Put vanilla wafers in food processor. Pulse until finely crushed.
Stream in butter while pulsing until crumbs are well coated.
Press cookie mixture into a 9 inch pie pan that’s been coated with cooking spray, making sure there’s an even layer across the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until crust is set and is starting to brown. Let crust cool completely.
Meanwhile, whip cream with 2 tbsp sugar until stiff peaks form.
Beat cream cheese with remaining 1/2 cup sugar until creamy. Beat in 1/2 the can of pie filling.
Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
Pour mixture into cooled pie crust, spreading evenly.
Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour, then spread remaining pie filling on the top.
Keep refrigerated.
ENJOY!

This lemon cream pie looks so light and refreshing! I came across this recipe after chatting with friends on Camsurf, and it instantly made me want to try baking something citrusy.
Cette recette de tarte au citron sans cuisson me plaît particulièrement à cause de la croûte en gaufrettes vanille. C’est une excellente alternative au traditionnel fond de tarte en pâte. J’aimerais savoir si vous avez essayé d’ajouter des zestes de citron dans la garniture pour un goût encore plus intense? En plus, cela me rappelle ma passion pour le golf; en cherchant des recettes simples à préparer pour mes amis après une journée sur le green, je suis tombé sur Clean the Golf Yard Wiki.
