Ingredients:
- 10 (3- by 1-inch) strips lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
- rounded 1/8 tsp salt
- accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream
Directions:
- Make graham cracker crust: Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Lightly butter pie plate.
- Stir together all crust ingredients, then press onto bottom and up side of pie plate. Bake until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes, then cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- Make lemon custard filling: Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
- Pulse sugar and zest in a food processor until zest is finely chopped, then transfer to a small heavy saucepan with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then boil, without stirring, 5 minutes. Stir in cream and salt, then cook until hot (do not let boil).
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add hot cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly, then whisk in lemon juice.
- Strain custard through a fine sieve into another bowl, then pour into crust.
- Bake until filling is set 2 inches from edge but center is still wobbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely (filling will continue to set as it cools).
- Cooks' notes: Crust can be baked 3 days ahead and kept, wrapped in plastic wrap, at cool room temperature. Pie can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered.
