Lemon Cream Pie

This pie will add a golden touch to your table. Fresh lemon juice and lemon zest make the filling tart and the cream adds a velvety texture.

Ingredients

1 (9-inch) piecrust, unbaked

Fillling:

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

1/3 cup SILVER BLOSSOM HONEY

2 eggs

2 egg yolks

3/4 cup heavy cream

Garnish:

fresh blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries

whipped cream

Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°.
Bake piecrust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven to cool. While crust cools prepare filling.
Filling:
In a bowl whisk together lemon juice, zest, honey, eggs, and yolks until well combined. Pour into a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
Pour into a bowl to cool, stirring occasionally until just warm to the touch, about 15 minutes. Slowly whisk in cream. Pour filling into the cooled crust. Bake 20-25 minutes covering edges of crust with foil if they are browning too quickly. Remove from oven. Cool on rack. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until filling is set.

To serve, top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with a spoonful of fresh berries.
