Notes
Proper Pudding Mixing: Ensure that the lemon pudding mix and milk are thoroughly combined to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. Whisk the mixture for the recommended 2 minutes, or until the pudding thickens. This ensures that the pudding sets properly and provides a luscious filling for the pie.
Layering Technique: To create distinct layers in the pie, spread half of the lemon pudding mixture onto the Graham cracker crust before adding the whipped cream layer. Incorporating half of the whipped cream into the lemon pudding mixture helps to lighten the filling and creates a creamy texture. Spread the remaining whipped cream on top for a decadent finish.
Chilling Time: Allow the assembled pie to chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and the pie to set properly. This ensures that each slice holds its shape when served and provides a refreshing and creamy texture. Garnish with lemon zest or slices just before serving for a vibrant and citrusy touch.
