Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice, butter, and lemon zest if using. Mix until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.
Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
3. Chill the Pie:
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until it is fully set.
4. Make the Whipped Cream Topping:
In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the set lemon filling.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with additional lemon zest or lemon slices if desired.
Slice and serve chilled.
Tips:
Egg Yolks: Be sure to temper the egg yolks properly to avoid curdling.
Chill Time: Allow enough chilling time for the pie to set properly; it’s best to make it a day ahead.
Garnishing: For a decorative touch, you can also add fresh mint leaves or edible flowers as a garnish.
This Creamy Lemon Pie is a refreshing and indulgent dessert that’s sure to please any lemon lover with its perfect balance of tartness and creaminess. Enjoy! 🍋
