Bright and Sunny Old Fashioned Lemon Chiffon Pie is the best Summer dessert recipe you could ever ask for.

It tastes like a frozen lemonade! Yeah, the best dessert to cool you off on hot summer days, this Creamy and decadent Lemon Chiffon Pie is smooth, silky and so indulging.

This Lemon Chiffon Pie is a quick No-Bake dessert recipe and tastes beyond delicious. This Lemon Chiffon Pie without gelatin sets perfectly and is such an easy lemon dessert recipe.

Lemon Chiffon Pie

This is my favorite easy Lemon Pie recipe. I mean, I love Pies and can enjoy them at any time of the year and the Summers gives me the perfect excuse to bake Blueberry Pie, Cherry Pie, Rhubarb Crumble, Blackberry Cobbler in Cast Iron Skillet, Blueberry Cobbler (Gluten Free), and this favorite The Best and (Most) Traditional Lemon Meringue Pies

This sweet and tangy Lemon Chiffon Pie with whipped cream topping and lemon zest and lemon slivers on top tastes like the tropics in a plate.

Seriously! This Lemon Chiffon Pie will remind you of your last tropical vacation...

Easy No-Bake Lemon Chiffon Pie

This Lemon Chiffon Pie is a No-Bake Recipe. Although you do need to bake the crust and then use it. What I love about this recipe of Lemon Chiffon Pie is that unlike other No-Bake desserts these take just 2 hours to freeze to perfection.

You can freeze this for 4 hours or overnight but I never do that.

Over freeing the dessert just spoils the taste of it. I never knew how quickly heavy cream freezes and this Pie is a perfect reminder of that.

Gets prepared to perfection in just 2 hours. And when you bite in, you do not actually bite into the ice.

Quick 4 steps recipe for Lemon Chiffon Pie

This Lemon Chiffon Pie follows 3 basic steps. Here's how to make Lemon Chiffon Pie.

STEP 1: Baking the Crust

The Best Homemade Buttery Pie Crust head shot
  • I use my recipe of homemade buttery Pie crust.
  • You can also use store-bought pie crust and bake it
  • Bake the Crust for 10 minutes @ 350F (or 180C)

STEP 2: Making the Filling

  • Bring 11/2 cup of water to boil in a pot along with Vanilla, Granulated Sugar, Lemon Juice and Butter
boiling water and lemon juice
  • Reduce the heat to low and add a Cornstarch slurry (2 tablespoon Cornstarch + 3 tablespoon water). Stir until smooth.
adding cornstarch slurry
  • Allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature and then whisk in the Eggs
adding eggs
  • Now, stir in the whipped cream
adding whipped cream

STEP 3: Freezing the Pie

  • Pour the filling in the pre-baked pie crust

  • Freeze this for 2-4 hours

STEP 4: Serve

  • Serve the pie with some whipped cream topping and lemon zest on top.

All about the Crust

For this recipe, I have used my Buttery Pie Crust Recipe. I generally make it in advance and store it in the freezer. Whenever I am baking a Pie, I thaw it in the refrigerator and use it.

Homemade Pie Crust is the best because they never dry out and the pie dough stays fresh for 3 months.

Apart from this you can use a store-bought pie crust and pre-bake it

Besides that, you can use Graham Cracker Crumbs or Saltine Cracker Crumbs to make the crust.

You need to pulse the Crackers in the food processor along with some melted butter and then place it in the pie dish. Freeze for 2 hours before adding the filling or just pre-bake it @ 350F (or 180C) for 8-10 minutes.

The Zesty and Creamy Lemon Pie Filling

This creamy and zesty Lemon Pie filling reminds me of a perfect glass of Lemonade! But it's even better.

There is Eggs and Cornstarch which holds the structure for this pie.

Then you have butter and whipped cream for that creamy taste and texture. The best part is that hint of Vanilla which just brings all the flavors to life. I never knew how amazing Lemon and Vanilla Pairs until today. It's seriously so good.

The only thing which tests your patience is the waiting part. But since it's the Summers and you have plenty of time at home, baking this will be a breeze. It's a perfect No-Bake Summer Dessert the whole family can enjoy together.

The Garnishes

Coming to the final climax of the recipe - the Garnish. Yeah! Climax. After this Lemon Chiffon Pie freezes up, it's nothing short of climax.

While a Typical Lemon Pie needs no garnish, this one can be garnished with some heavy whipped cream.

You can use a star tip nozzle to decorate around the pie or just place it at the center of the pie.

Also, do not forget the final garnish with Lemon Zest and Lemon slivers. It's the Lemon zests that give this pie, that amazing Lemony fragrance which is just so good!

This Lemon Chiffon Pie recipe is just the easiest of all pie recipes. It needs no effort and is a perfect dessert for every occasions.

Lemon Chiffon Pie with Condensed Milk?

YES! You can add sweetened condensed milk to this lemon chiffon pie. Making Lemon Chiffon Pie with sweetened condensed milk, makes it easier to set and tastes delicious, giving you a perfect sweetness over the citrusy burst of lemon.

Can you freeze Lemon Chiffon Pie?

NO. Since the filling of this Pie or any Chiffon Pie is made using eggs and cream, it won't freeze well. Moreover upon thawing the egg whites shall become rubbery!
