Description
This Lemon Cream Pie sits right between a lemon curd tart and a cheesecake. Its filling, while rich with cream cheese, has a texture that's lighter than cheesecake; a flavor that's mellower than lemon curd; and that bright, sunshine-y zing you expect from a lemon dessert. The vibrant lemon flavor comes from three forms of lemon — zest, juice, and pure lemon extract — and they're incorporated into every element: the crisp, buttery crust; the silky-smooth, refreshingly tart filling; and the billowy whipped cream topping.
