Awesome lemon pie!

I've made this pie a couple of times, and it is gooooood! :)
That's why I want to share the recipe with you guys!

the lemon pie from the original recipe

You need:
- frozen puff pastry enough to cover the spring cake tin (in the Netherlands it'll be from Koopmans and you'll need 6 sheets), defrosted
- 1 egg, whisked
- 125 gram sugar + 1 tablespoon for the bottom of the cake tin
- 4 sheets of gelatine (Dr. Oetker)
- 4 lemons, rubbed clean
- 1 cup of heavy cream (250 ml, 'slagroom' for Dutchies)
- 1 cup of mascarpone (250 gram)
- 40 gram of pine seeds
- spring cake tin of 28 cm cross-cut, greased

1. Preheat the oven on 180 degrees Celcius. Arrange the pastry onto the cake tin, prick holes in it en bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Then take it out of the oven, cover with the egg, sprinkle with the sugar en bake for 2 more minutes.

2. Soak the gelatine in cold water for at least 5 minutes. Grate the yellow skin of 1 lemon and squeeze this lemon and 2 more lemons. Heat the juice in a pan and let the rest of the sugar dissolve in the juice. Take the pan of the stove. Squeeze out the gelatine and put it in the pan. Let it cool down.

3. Whisk the cream until it's a bit thicker than yoghurt. Stir the mascarpone loose. Put the lemon grinds, the lemon syrup and the cream together with the mascarpone. Cover the bottom with this mixture. Let it  curdle in the fridge for 2 hours.

4. Roast the pine seeds for 2 minutes in a frying pan (no oil!). Let them cool down. Cut the last lemon into slices and put it on the pie together with the pine seeds (see picture above).

The recipe is supposed to be dessert for 8 persons. It takes about 40 minutes of real work, 40 minutes of oventime and 2 hours of waitingtime.


Just try it, it's easy and tastes real good!

my lemon pie!

I had some blueberries on my fruitbowl when I made this pie, so I just added them on top. I think it looks nice, and they go very well with the pie aswell.


Wow... translating the recipe was quite hard. If you read it and you see mistakes, please let me know.
Hope you enjoy your lemon pie!!
