Servings: persons

1 (20 ounce) can lemon pie filling
Optional Homemade Lemon Curd
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks
1 pint half-and-half
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Strawberry Cake
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box strawberry cake mix (Duncan Hines)
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 1/3 cups water
Topping
12 ounces Cool Whip
fresh strawberries (garnish)

1
LEMON CURD: In a microwave safe bowl mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, half and half, and lemon juice. Whisk until blended.
2
Place in the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes. Remove and whisk to smooth. Repeat this two times until pudding has thickened.
3
Add in the butter and vanilla. Mix well until the butter is melted.
4
Cover with plastic wrap directly on top of the filling and chill at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
5
CAKE: Make cake according to package directions. (You can either make a 9x13 cake or a layer cake. I usually use 3 round cake pans, and make a tri-tier cake). Cool completely.
6
ASSEMBLY: Spread lemon curd over top of cake for a 9x13, and top of first and second layer only if making a layer cake.
7
Spread cool whip over top (and sides if making a layer cake). Refrigerate 4-8 hours.
8
Garnish with fresh strawberry slices. Serve. (Keep leftovers refrigerated).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
