We always have pie at the holidays and this Lemon Chess Cheesecake Pie is a MUST. Y’all, this is SO good. I am not a big fan of sweets, but this Lemon Chess Cheesecake Pie kept calling me to the fridge to take a bite. O-M-G!

This pie combines two of my favorites into one – cheesecake and Lemon Chess Pie. Not super sweet, just super delicious. This was so easy to make and can be made a few days ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve. It actually tastes better after it has been in the refrigerator overnight. As I said earlier, this pie is to-die-for! It is a must for your holiday meal. Trust me! 
We served the pie with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. To make the whipped cream, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with ¼ cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla. Make sure the heavy cream is really cold before whipping. I also like to chill my mixing bowl!

  1. How about making these in 4" tart pans. Any ideas on how long to cook them? with 4 on a cookie sheet?

  2. Do you defrost the pie crust first or just put all the ingredients in the frozen pie crust and then bake? Thanks!

    1. I just fill the crust frozen. I take the crust out when I start making the pie so it is slightly thawed. Enjoy!

  3. This sounds delicious! Pinned to Gimme Some Pie on Pinterest for my definite "to-do" list!
    Thank you!
