An Attempt at Lemon-Sour Cream

Tonight I went for it.  I have heard much about Lemon Cream Sour Cream Pie, I've been asked if our lemon cream pie has sour cream, I had a slice of Lemon Cream Sour Cream on fathers day and finally I have gotten around to making one of my own.  I did mine a little different.  First, I started with a Gluten Free pie crust - follow a graham cracker pie crust recipe and replace the graham crackers with rice chex - blended up in a vita mixer.  It is really quite simple though baking times on the crust may take a little longer.  I pulled mine out after 8 minutes but ended up putting it back in to crisp it up a bit.  So Gluten Free - check.  I also made it sugar, um, less.  I used the truvia baking blend which, if I am correct has 75% stevia and 25% sugar.  I think that is what it is.  I had a customer today request diabetic friendly desserts so I figured I might as well see how it goes.  I researched a number of recipes for Lemon Cream Sour Cream and found that most were fairly close.  Some called for milk and others called for half and half.  I went with milk.  The filling set pretty well though it may be a little clumpy.  I will do a few things different the next time I cook the filling to try for a smoother filling.  Anyhow, the flavor is good.  Using a stevia sweetener I wasn't too sure how it would turn out but it cooked just fine.  I think we have success there and really it was quite simple to do.  Perhaps I will sneak a piece of my Sugar-less, gluten free, Lemon Sour Cream pie in the morning and perhaps take some in for everyone to try.

In other news we watched a couple of Christmas videos from the Church for our FHE tonight.  We had a good discussion about what we can give this Christmas and everyone got excited.  Next week we will make some Fontano Family Fudge to distribute to friends and neighbors.  Not sure if we will go with the traditional fudge or try some of the Candy Cane stuff we do at the Brick House.  I tried to convince the kids that we should sing We Wish You A Merry Christmas at the door-step when we drop it off.  Natty wasn't having any of that.  Hmmm, what can we do to fix that?
