Edwards is one of many store-bought options for pie enthusiasts looking to streamline their sweet time. With a variety of whole frozen pies and single-serving products, there's something to satisfy just about any appetite. Tasting Table's rankings of Edwards frozen pie flavors revealed a surprisingly tart front-runner, selecting the Lemon Crème Pie as the very best.

Standing above its fellow confections as the top contender, Edwards' Lemon Crème Pie was singled out for its delectable flavor, aesthetically pleasing look, and impressive texture. Though it's a lemon crème variety and distinctly different from lemon meringue, this frozen pie could easily take on the latter to be deemed the best classic lemon dessert by far. As it's luscious and lemony, it's easy to see why the pie was picked as Edwards' best flavor.

Fan feedback for this pie further shows why it's such a popular choice. On the Kroger product page, one reviewer calls it, "The best frozen lemon pie! Creamy and delicious." Another shares, "This is a Lemon Crème Pie and it is delicious! Light, sweet, lemony in taste." A Redditor enthuses, "The lemon pie is my favorite ever, better than any homemade pie."

Why Edwards frozen pies are so popular

As noted in Tasting Table's rankings of Edwards pie flavors, even the slice that placed last, Key Lime, had redeeming qualities. It would seem that just about every pie from Edwards is good in its own right, with Lemon Crème maintaining its edge as the all-time best. Further, Edwards took second place in Tasting Table's assessment of frozen dessert pie brands, with the writer mentioning the ease of enjoying the pies and the many unique flavors offered.

Edwards' Lemon Crème pie is often cited as a fan favorite, but this isn't the only frozen pie that's been called the best by those with a sweet tooth. Keen observers and fast food fans have celebrated how Edwards' Chocolate Crème pie appears to be the same as the Hershey Pies served at Burger King. One Redditor opines, "All [Edwards] pies seem like a home run." Though Tasting Table ranked Key Lime in last place, others laud it as a classic, with a good balance of tart and sweet flavors.

Summing it up thusly, one Reddit commenter says, "I recently bought this on sale for only $5. I wasn't expecting much for a frozen mass-produced pie. But I was surprised how [it's better] than the average frozen pie." Whichever flavor of Edwards' frozen pie you choose, it's likely to both fill and fulfill.
