Four-layer lemon tart

Lemon pie is a classic dessert that has won over palates around the world. Its origin dates back to European lemon pie recipes, which over time were adapted in Latin America, giving rise to unique versions in each country. In Mexico and Caribbean countries, this delight is commonly known as "pay de limón," while in Argentina and Chile the term "tarta de limón" is used. In other places, such as Colombia and Peru, it remains as "tarta o pay de limón." This recipe stands out for combining the acidic and refreshing taste of lemon with soft and creamy textures, creating a unique experience in every bite.

This dessert reflects the multicultural influence in Latin American cuisine, mixing traditional ingredients with modern techniques. Its popularity has spread thanks to its ease of preparation and its balanced flavor, making it perfect for various occasions, from family celebrations to casual gatherings.

How to prepare Four-Layer Lemon Pie

To begin, mix all the ingredients for the first layer and carefully press the mixture into a pie pan.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until the crust is golden, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.

For the second layer, beat together the indicated ingredients and pour this mixture over the baked pie crust.

Refrigerate the preparation so it sets.

The third layer consists of mixing until it thickens properly and then pouring this mixture over the cream cheese layer.

Refrigerate again to continue assembling the pie.

The fourth and final layer is achieved by covering the pie with 4 ounces of whipped topping.

Refrigerate until ready to serve to enjoy a fresh and delicious pie.
