French Lemon Pie

A silky lemon filling made with fresh lemon juice and zest bakes into a beautifully tangy pie, then gets topped with generous clouds of whipped cream for the perfect finishing touch. Whether you're serving it at a summer gathering, holiday dinner or Sunday family meal, one slice is never enough.

Bright, buttery and bursting with fresh citrus flavour, this Best of Bridge French Lemon Pie is the kind of old-fashioned dessert that never goes out of style. 🍋
