ADDITIONAL NOTE: USE A SHORTBREAD CRUST. IT IS JUST AS QUICK AS GRAHAM CRACKER AND TASTES MUCH BETTER WITH THIS PARTICULAR PIE. KEEBLER MAKES A GOOD SHORTBREAD CRUST. This pie was fantastic. I have made it 5 times or so over the summer and receive compliments every time. It has just the right amount of sweetness and just the right amount of tartness. The first time I made it I used some extra filling to dip some strawberries in which was very yummy. This gave me the idea to incorporate strawberries in some way. The next time I prepared it then I added 2 tablespoons of All Fruit strawberry preserves. Everyone raved about it and when I made it next I sliced strawberries and laid them on the bottom of the crust before I poured in the strawberry-lemon filling -- SOOO good!!! Read More

(38) AMAZING! So creamy and just enough sweetness not too much. I will be making this again and again. Would be wonderful with fresh fruit as suggested by some of the other reviewers. Divine! Thank you for sharing! Read More

My family LOVES this pie! It is tart but we like that. The lemon flavor bowls you over it is not too sweet but it's not too intense either. I agree with previous reviewers who say to use a shortbread crumb crust... it is awesome with this pie whereas graham cracker crust I think would just taste wrong. I don't see why people complain about the gelatin.... okay so the texture may not be authentically "mousse" like but the gelatin holds the pie together and it's not like the texture is bad. I would rather have my pie hold together and be easy to slice which is what the gelatin does for this pie. I am making this for Thanksgiving this year as my 8 year old begged for it. Thanks for a new family favorite! Read More

Great pie--wonderful for summer. Very light and cool. I used a shortbread pie crust instead of regular and I think that gave it a better flavor. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

(5) Made this for a big family dinner and everyone loved it. Very refreshing and light. It's not really the consistency of mousse with the gelatin but it does hold together nicely and tastes great. Read More

I made this tonight and got rave reviews from my family. I used a graham cracker crust so it was much quicker. I'm going to try this again and make some mini mousses for a party. Read More

(4) Everone LOVED this dessert. I made it with fresh lemons and it wasn't tart at all. I decorated with rings of blue berries raspberries black berries and strawberries so it looked pretty. For the crust I did graham cracker with toasted almonds and lemon zest. Read More
