Ingrédients
Graham Cookie Crust :
- 1 ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of melted butter
Ingredients for Lemon Garnish:
- 12 oz 7UP + ½ cup water
- 2 egg yolks
- ⅓ cup of cold water
- 1 tablespoon of butter
Instructions
Graham Cookie Crust :
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until combined.
- Press the mixture into an 11 ”pie pan, making sure to wrap it well and evenly distribute it on the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Lemon garnish :
- In a small bowl, combine the lemon pie filling, 2 egg yolks and cold water. Whisk until combined.
- In a small saucepan, combine 12 ounces of 7UP and ½ cup of water. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium.
- Slowly add about 1/4 of the boiled 7UP mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly so the eggs do not cook. This tempers the eggs so that they do not move.
- Add the hot egg mixture to the pot with the remaining 7UP mixture, stirring constantly.
- Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the bubbles rise to the surface. Cook for another 30 seconds, then remove from heat.
- Add butter, stirring until well blended.
- Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes, then pour it into the completely cooled graham cracker crust.
- Leave the lemon pie on the counter until it cools to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. If you keep it overnight, cover with plastic wrap after 2 hours.
Notes
- This recipe has modified the instructions on the back of the pie filling box. Each brand of lemon pie filling will have different instructions. If the instructions for filling the cake differ from these, follow the directions on the back of your package replacing 7UP with cold water. If your recipe calls for more than 12 ounces of water, add cold water to make up the difference.
- I garnished my 7UP Lemon Pie with candied lemon slices, but you can keep it very simple and top it with whipped topping or homemade whipped cream, or even serve it without any decoration. It's just as delicious with or without a garnish!
