If you like sour notes like in lemon meringue or key lime pies, or if you just like Tang, then I think you&#8217;ll like this. You can use a ready-made graham cracker crust to make this pie even easier to put together.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<p><em><strong>Tang Pie. It&#8217;s the pie of the future.

Add the sour cream and stir until smooth. Gently fold in the Cool Whip a little at a time until just combined so that you maintain the fluffiness.<\/li>\n<li>To assemble: Pour the filling mixture into your graham cracker crust and smooth the top.
