No Bake Lemon Pie | Cooking on the Front Burner

Good Afternoon!  I’m excited to be a new contributor on The Best Blog Recipes.  Starting today and continuing for the next few months, I’ll be sharing new recipes for both my readers and hers to try.


So for my first recipe, I knew I wanted it to be easy and refreshing, luckily my Sandra Lee bi-monthy magazine arrived and I was pretty excited – almost every recipe was made with lemons!  I did a bit of tweaking, added some coconut and came up with this:

Please note you can truly make this a no-bake pie by buying a pre-made crust – a graham cracker one would also be perfect! (and doesn’t the above look like a pac-man!)

    1. Hi Deb,
      Thanks for co-hosting the GYB link-up. Lemon pies are truly my favorite kind of pies, and no-bake is such a great option for summer. I am excited I found you, and I'm following via Bloglovin. Have a great day!

    5. Deb, this looks fabulous! I love lemons AND no-bake desserts (I actually just wrote about a no bake lemon icebox cake 🙂 I love the yogurt in this recipe and bet this pie would taste great with other flavors, like lime. Thanks for sharing!
