Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor and natural tartness.
- Allow the pie to chill long enough to firm up the filling; otherwise, it may be too runny to slice cleanly.
- For a twist, add lemon zest to the filling mixture for enhanced lemon aroma.
- The whipped cream topping can be homemade or store-bought based on preference and convenience.
- Fresh berries are optional, but they add a nice color contrast and complementary sweetness.
