Receta Lemonade Refrigerator Pie
Tuesday, July 2, 2013
I’ve been seeing this pie around this summer, I am not sure where it originated from. I made some changes to it and loved the way it came out. It had the brightness of a fresh lemon and is as light as clouds. This pie has to set at least 6 hours before cutting or you will have a mess on your hands. In the picture above the pie had set only about 5 hours. After sitting overnight it sliced beautifully. The only changes I might still do it is to add a few drops of yellow food color to increase the color and to decorate the top with whipped cream and lemon slices or lemon drops.
