Como fazer Fluffy Lemon Chess Pie

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Blind bake your 9-inch pie crust for 7-8 minutes. (If using a store-bought crust, prick the bottom with a fork before baking to prevent bubbling).
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the zest and juice of 2 large lemons.
In a separate clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown. The center should be just slightly jiggly.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly and enhances the flavor.
