As soon as spring hits, I crave lemon desserts and baked goods. I make Lemon Olive Oil Muffins for breakfast and No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Cups as dessert when I have company. Now it's time to make this lemon custard pie. Grab your blender as it makes this blender lemon pie super easy to create! This is the perfect dessert for spring.
If you love pie but think it's too much work, you are in luck. This blender lemon pie could easily be called lazy pie because it is so incredibly easy to make. In fact, this simple lemon custard pie is the perfect recipe for making with kids because all you need to do is buzz all the ingredients in a blender, pour it into a crust and bake. Plus, you can have the kids pick the seeds out of the lemons so you don't have to!
Don't let the fact that whole lemons go in this blender lemon pie scare you off either. There will be no bitter taste from the pith and the custard will be incredibly smooth with just the right amount of texture. Using whole lemons will give you that incredible citrusy flavor you crave. If you are a lemon lover, you will adore this creamy lemon pie recipe.
Ingredients in Lemon Custard Pie
- Lemons – Slice fresh lemons wedges and remove all of the seeds.
- Eggs - Bring large eggs to room temperature. No need to separate the egg whites from the egg yolks in this easy lemon pie recipe.
- Butter - Use unsalted butter that has been melted and cooled.
- Sugar - Regular white sugar will work best. This recipe has not been tested with sugar substitutes.
- Vanilla Extract – Vanilla extract enhances all of the other flavors without adding a noticeable vanilla flavor.
- Pie Crust – Refrigerated store-bought crust or ready made shells makes this recipe super easy but you can make a homemade crust if you like. I use a 9-inch pie crust to fit in a 9-inch pie plate.
- Cool Whip – Thaw a container of cool whip or use sweetened whipped cream.
How to Make Blender Lemon Pie
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. If using a boxed pie dough, unroll and place in a pie dish.
- Slice 2 lemons into wedges and remove all of the seeds. Add the lemons, eggs, cooled butter, sugar, and vanilla into the blender or food processor and blend on medium for 3-4 minutes or until smooth. Pour the lemon custard pie mixture into the prepared pie shell.
- Bake in the center of the oven rack for 45 minutes or until pie filling is set and the crust is golden.
- Cool the pie to room temperature. Top with whipped cream or Cool whip and chill for 1 hour before serving. (See recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.)
Tips and Variations
- For the smoothest filling, use room temperature eggs and melted butter that has been cooled.
- Select small to medium lemons as they typically have less pith.
- Slicing the lemons rather than cutting into wedges may make it easier to remove the seeds.
- Use store bought pie crust to save time. You can also substitute in a cookie, gluten free or graham cracker crust.
- This blender lemon pie will not set as it cools so cook until it is no longer jiggly in the center.
- Whipped heavy cream or Cool Whip looks beautiful and tastes great but you can skip it and use a dusting of powdered sugar on top of the pie instead.
- Top the pie with a bit of fresh lemon zest and a few slices of lemon. Candied lemon peel would also be fun. Or you could top with sliced fresh strawberries or another seasonal berry.
- Refrigerate any leftovers and consume within 5 days.
- I find this lemon custard pie to be most refreshing when chilled but it can be served at room temperature.
- You can freeze this pie for up to three months.
- Try making this pie with limes!

May be a silly question, but do we peel the lemons?

Andree,
No need to peel the lemons! Not a silly question because I would not have known this before I read that you can do this and making this recipe.
Enjoy!
