We all need a simple, go-to dessert recipe, and this dairy free Lemon Custard Pie is just that. You only need a few minutes and some basic kitchen staples to put it together, and the result is a delicious pie that the whole family will love.
This recipe takes advantage of a frozen pie crust, so feel free to choose your favorite. I’m currently loving this Wholly gluten free pie shell that I found at Whole Foods. It’s a buttery, flaky crust, and unsuspecting guests will never know this pie is free from dairy and gluten.
My favorite thing about this recipe is that you can bake it ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready. Pop it out of the fridge and top it with a generous topping of coconut whip and a lemon slice, and you’ve got yourself a delicious dessert for your guests, AND you can take all the credit for making it yourself. It’s the perfect cool, refreshing treat on a warm spring or summer night.
