National Lemon Cream Pie Day, celebrated annually on November 29, is a day to honour this classic dessert. Lemon cream pie is made with a buttery crust and a creamy, tangy filling made with lemon juice, eggs, sugar, and butter. It is often topped with whipped cream or meringue.

The exact origins of lemon cream pie are unknown, but it is thought to have originated in the United States in the early 1900s. Lemon pies have been around for centuries, but the addition of cream to the filling was a relatively new invention. The first documented recipe for lemon cream pie was published in a cookbook called "The Lady's Receipt Book" by Eliza Leslie in 1847.

Lemon cream pie quickly became a popular dessert, and it is now enjoyed all over the world. It is especially popular in the United States during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
