1 graham cracker crust (recipe to follow) or pastry crust
3 large eggs 3 egg yolks cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Partially prebake the crust according to the directions in recipe below. Bake until it is only lightly golden because the crust will brown while the lemon filling bakes and then will bake further if a meringue is used. Prebaking is essential.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Whisk the ingredients together in the order listed. Whisk after each addition so that the batter is thoroughly blended though not bubbly. Pour the filling into the prebaked pie crust and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until set and slightly golden on the surface.
Serve plain or add meringue (recipe below).
Serves eight.
