This is quick and easy, but your guests or family will think you spent hours making it. You could make up a few crusts for the pies, as I do, and just pop one out of the freezer, thaw and bake nearly in the time it takes to fix the pie ingredients. So good! Note: To get more juice from a lemon, either roll it around on the counter while holding it firmly, or stick it in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Note: Time does not include the time it takes to come to room temperature.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon rind, grated
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, about 3 lemons
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
1 baked and cooled 9-inch pie shell
