Gifts from the Kitchen, Sunshine & Lazy Lemon Pie
Last week we had 3 days of torrential rain on the coast so I created some sunshine inside with daisies, lemons
and jars of lemon pie 🍋
I saw jars of lemon pie over at Miz Helen’s Country Cottage and thought they looked like wonderful treats
Some good friends just treated me to a special dinner, and I wanted to make these to give them for a thank you treat
But then I got lazzzy 😴 and some life happened, and I sent a card instead…
And then I finally had a chance to make them
I made a very simple version, Lazy Lemon Pie
Crumble cookies into a jar, top with lemon curd, fill with Cool Whip and sprinkle with lemon zest
I set a sunny little table for 2 so I wouldn’t look so lazy we could enjoy our pie in style
You’d never even know it was raining 💦
Wouldn’t these pies be great on a picnic too?

Psst! Don’t used canned whipped cream unless serving immediately!
I tried these with canned whipped cream and whole Sandies cookies, spreading the curd on the cookies and layering them in the jar…the cream deflated after a few hours and the cookies never softened at all. The canned whipped cream will work if you serve this immediately and crumble the cookies well

YOU are sunshine to the world Jenna! ☀️💛
Lovin’ the perky daises and cute ribbon around the jar lids:@)
Hi Jenna, We have lately had alternating extreme humidity and terrific thunderstorms with downpours. I would love a bit of cool sunshine like this dessert! So easy too — perfect for me! Hope you have a sunny day! Linda
Everything about this post screams my name Jenna, I love any and everything with lemons and limes! Summer sweet is how I describe your table, gorgeous flowers and colors. What a great and easy recipe for the treats in a jar, beach and picnic perfect…………….
What a great idea for a picnic basket! I’m in! 🍋
Lemons, limes and all of this joyous color too!
Love it all and we so are happy that you joined us at TOHOT!

Jenna, since I love lemon anything, I know I would love this! Such a cute idea for hostess gifts! Wish I could get just a little rain!
Your pie in the jar is perfect for the lazy days of summer Jenna! I love lemon curd and could happily dunk cookies in it. I had to chuckle that you sent a card instead…better late than never 🙂 We had a nice break in the weather a couple of weeks ago with some much needed rain.
I will always reach for a lemon dessert over anything else. Thanks for sharing at Creatively Crafty!
Oh, my goodness, this looks so good! Presentation is everything, they say, and the canning jars gets me every time! 🙂
These look so cute and sound so amazing! 🙂

I have a jar of homemade lemon curd in my fridge that a friend just gave me. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is such a great way to make 1 or 2 desserts, also instant gratification!
