Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups sugar, divided

• 6 tablespoons cornstarch

• 1 pinch salt

• 1 ½cups water

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

• 5drops food coloring (optional)

• ½cup fresh lemon juice

• 12 ounces cream cheese, softened

• ¾ cup powdered sugar

• 1 ½cups cool whipped topping

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

• Take the pie dough and roll it on a lightly floured surface to an 8-inch thick circle. Then transfer the rolled pie carefully to a 9-inch deep pie plate. Crimp the pie crust. Use a fork for this purpose, or use your hands to flute the edges of the crust. When done, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425°. Flank the crust with a double layer of foil. Fill it with pie weights or raw rice. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove the weights and foil too; bake for five more minutes until the bottom turns golden brown. Transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool.
• For the lemon filling, take a small saucepan and combine 1 cup sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Add water and stir continuously until smooth; bring it to a boil over medium-high flame. Lower the flame and add the remaining sugar. Cook and whisk continuously until thickened and even for about 2-3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat; stir in butter, grated lemon zest, and food coloring. Pour the lemon juice into it. Allow it to cool to room temperature for about one hour.
• For cream cheese filling, take a mixing bowl and beat cheese cream and powdered sugar until well incorporated. Stir in whipped topping and fresh lemon juice and whisk well until smooth and well-blended. Freeze a half cup of cream cheese filling for garnishing. Pour the remaining mixture over the pie shell and spread it evenly with the help of a knife or spatula.
• Pour lemon filling over cream cheese filling and refrigerate the pie overnight.
• Take a pastry bag with a star nozzle or star-tipped piping bag and fill it with the reserved cheese cream filling and pipe stars over lemon filling for decoration purposes. Refrigerate the delicious pie.
• The delicious lemon supreme pie is ready to relish.

Notes

• Be very careful while boiling the cornstarch. It thickens so quickly so, if you cook it for too long, it may lose its thickening power. Cook it for the minutes as directed in the recipe for the best results.
• Always use fresh lemon juice whenever you make this lemon supreme pie to give it a bright and fresh flavor. Bottled lemon juice might not give the desired result.

Expert Tips

• Pie weights don’t let the crust form air pockets that rise up or shrink as you bake it. These weights press the dough so that it maintains its shape and stays settled against the pie plate.
•  Once the crust is baked, allow it to cool for a few minutes before adding the pie filling. The crust will become solid and sturdy this way and will hold up well.
•  If you want to get much juice from your lemons, roll the lemons on a hard surface or a counter with your hand before slicing into them.
•  Use plastic wrap to cover the pie. And when you cover it, make sure the plastic wrap is not touching the top of the pie. If you don’t take the precaution, the plastic wrap will stick to the pie spoiling the shape of it on removal.
• Go for confectioner’s sugar instead of regular sugar to make the mixture grit-free.
• Don’t brush the uncooked pie with egg or dust it with sugar if you want to freeze it. Put the pie in the freezer for half an hour so that it hardens a bit, and wrap it with plastic wrap. You can freeze it for up to six months. When you have to bake it, unwrap it, and sprinkle with sugar and brush it with egg. Bake the pie until golden brown.
