How to Make Lemon Luscious Pie
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 cups milk, and 4 large egg yolks.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional). Cover the surface of the filling with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Let the filling cool completely to room temperature. This will take approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Once cooled, gently fold in 1 cup sour cream.
- Pour the filling into your favorite pre-baked 9-inch pie crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set completely.
- Before serving, top with freshly whipped cream and garnish with thin lemon curls.
