Zesty Arizona Lemon Sunshine Pie Recipe

Arizona Sunshine Lemon Pie

I love a good blender recipe, especially because it makes clean up a breeze. If you’re like me, the worst part about cooking is the pile of dishes that accumulate after every meal. That’s why I was thrilled when I stumbled upon this Arizona Sunshine Lemon Pie recipe on Pinterest. The name alone caught my eye, and since my blog is called Baked in ARIZONA, I knew I had to give it a try.

What makes this lemon pie unique is that you use the whole lemon, peel and all! It’s super easy to make, especially if you use a pre-made pie crust. The only challenge is picking out all the seeds from the lemon, but once that’s done, you simply throw everything into the blender, blend it up, and pour it into the crust.

After 40 minutes in the oven, you’ll have a delicious, custard-like lemon pie. I found that it’s best enjoyed chilled with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream on top. So, if life is giving you lemons or you just need something to brighten your day, give this pie a try. It’s sure to turn your day around, just like it did for me on a Monday.

Now, let’s gather the ingredients:

For the pie:
– 1 large lemon
– 4 large eggs
– ½ cup melted butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla
– 1½ cups sugar
– 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust (frozen deep dish works great)

For the optional topping:
– 1 cup whipping cream
– 2 tablespoons sugar

Now, let’s head to the kitchen and start baking!
