One bite and people marvel over this pie. Some even say it reminds them of cheesecake. The recipe was shared by a friend; now, I'm glad to do the same. My husband's a veterinarian-and a good sport about trying mew dishes!

This pie was delicious! The filling was smooth and creamy, and the crust was flaky and buttery. The lemon flavor was perfect, and the sour cream added a nice tanginess. I would definitely make this pie again.

I had some trouble with the crust. It was very crumbly and difficult to work with. The filling was also a bit runny. I think I might have overmixed it. Overall, I was not happy with the results of this recipe.
