LEMON TRUFFLE PIE
An adaptation of the Pillsbury Bakeoff's cream cheese and white chocolate pie with a tart lemon topping, but with an easy microwave preparation. Use no less than a 9" cooked dough or graham cracker crust to accommodate the filling. Also, use the best quality lemon curd you can find or prepare your own. Give yourself time for the cream cheese to soften or the mixture will become grainy. Chill time not included. Note: If using the graham cracker crust to gain a more crisp texture I highly recommend to bake the crust about 5-10 minutes. I like Realtor's suggestion of a Vanilla Wafer crust. Also, see her easy and eggless recipe for Lemon curd recipe #429423.

Steps:
- In small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the lemon curd with the white chocolate chips. Microwave on 30% power for 2 minutes, remove and stir. Continue microwaving on 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Do not overheat or the chips will stiffen.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy and light. Gradually beat in white chocolate chip mixture until fluffy and smooth. Spread in bottom of prepared and cooled pie crust.
- Spoon and spread remaining lemon curd over the cream cheese filling. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours until set.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 450°F. Make pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust Baked Shell using 9-inch glass pie pan. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- 2. In 2-quart saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch and flour. Gradually stir in water until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Reduce heat to low; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- 3. Remove from heat. Stir about 1/4 cup hot mixture into egg yolks until well blended. Stir egg yolk mixture into mixture in saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- 4. Remove from heat. Stir in butter, lemon peel and lemon juice. Place 1/3 cup hot filling in 1-quart saucepan; cool remaining lemon mixture 15 minutes. Stir vanilla chips into hot filling in 1-quart saucepan; cook and stir over low heat just until chips are melted.
- 5. In small bowl with electric mixer, beat cream cheese on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in melted vanilla chip mixture until well blended. Spread in bottom of cooled baked shell. Spoon lemon mixture evenly over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until set, 2 to 3 hours.
- 6. In another small bowl with electric mixer, beat whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon whipped cream over pie. Garnish with toasted almonds. Store in refrigerator.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
- To make the pie ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to serve, thaw the pie in the refrigerator overnight.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the edges of the pastry dough to fit the plate.
- To make the lemon curd filling, you can use fresh lemon juice or bottled lemon juice. If using fresh lemon juice, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp.
- To prevent the lemon curd filling from curdling, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a bowl until they are thick and pale yellow. Then, slowly whisk in the hot cream. Do not bring the cream to a boil.
- If the lemon curd filling does curdle, don't panic! Just remove the pan from the heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon of cold butter. The butter will help to smooth out the filling.
Conclusion:
This lemon truffle pie is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy lemon curd filling and rich chocolate truffle ganache, this pie is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this lemon truffle pie a try!
