A light, refreshing, and easy to make pie. It's one of my summer favorites. Ingredients:
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked |
3/4 cup white sugar |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 cup water |
1 teaspoon lemon zest |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup white sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, water, lemon peel and juice, and egg yolks in a saucepan. Beat well. Stir while cooking over medium heat until thick; it will thicken just as it starts to simmer.
2. Remove saucepan from heat. Add cream cheese to lemon mixture, and stir until incorporated.
3. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff; add remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Fold sweetened egg whites into lemon mixture.
4. Spoon filling into shell and chill.
