Lemon Chess Pie is an old-fashioned favorite that’s perfect for summer potlucks. I think it is best served chilled and it has plenty of tart lemon flavor balanced by a good amount of sugar.

This pie is creamy with a smooth texture and is made from only a few basic ingredients: milk, butter, sugar, flour, and eggs.

Chocolate Chess Pie is my favorite but during the summer months, it’s hard to resist the bright color and refreshing flavor of lemons.

Recipe Tip

Lemon Chess Pie may not seem quite set in the middle when you remove it from the oven, but once chilled, it should firm up nicely.
