I love all things lemon. If I am at a restaurant and there are lemon and chocolate desserts available on a menu, I will often go with the lemon one. You may be surprised by that, given my fluency in all things chocolate, but I can do chocolate, (I can do lemon as well) but I love to see if they can bring it! Give me new!!
This sour cream pie is pretty traditional in the United States, where pies of all types reign supreme. (You should get my Tenina's America cookbook to see the pie chapter in there if you are in any doubt!) I have added doTERRA lemon oil to the pie, just to kick it over the edge into amazing. But feel free to leave it out if you don't have it...or go and get it. Either way...enjoy!
