Ingredients

• 1 ready-made pie crust or your favorite graham cracker pie crust recipe
• 3/4 cups sugar
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons butter

Here's how to make it: 

1. Whisk together the egg yolks in a bowl. Set aside. 
2. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, milk, cream, lemon zest and lemon juice in a saucepot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to bubble. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes or until it thickens.
3. Remove the pot from the heat. Add some of the hot filling into the egg yolks to temper them. Pour the egg yolks into the saucepot and cook for about 2 minutes over low heat. Add the butter and vanilla. Stir.
4. Cool the mixture for about 10 minutes, then pour into the prepared pie crust. Cool on the counter for about 30 minutes then refrigerate to cool completely. Serve with whipped cream.
