Review: Lemon Chess Pie - Whats for Dessert p19

[KarenH]

Made this tonight to take for dinner at a neighbours house.  I was worried when I made the filling because it looked lumpy and like it had curdled or separated.  Maybe my butter wasn't soft enough to mix in thoroughly    I cooked it an extra 10 minutes because it didnt seem set enough at first, then let it cool in the oven as recommended.  I used a 24cm pie dish, which was the right size.

 It turned out to be a light, delicious lemon tart and was very popular with everyone at dinner.  Most people had seconds.

I served it with the Berry Lime Coulis (FFS), which was very yummy, but I think the coulis overpowered the flavour of the tart.  I think next time I would serve it with just a few fresh berries and vanilla icecream.

5/5 will definitely make again.

Thanks Karen. I must have another look at this recipe.

I made this today for dessert tonight. Karen, my mixture looked just as you described and I was worried too. The pie turned out great. Not too lemony. Left it in the oven to cool and was still warm when we ate it. I didn't have a large pie dish and used my pottery flan dish which I think resulted in the soggy bottom. Next time will use my 23cm quiche tin instead. Really quick dessert to make.
