Ingredients

  •  pie crust dough 
  • large eggs 
  • cup sugar 
  • 0.5 cup cream sour
  • 0.8 cup juice of lemon fresh (from 4 lemons)
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 
  • teaspoon gelatin powder unflavored (from a)
  • 1.5 cups cup heavy whipping cream 
  • 0.3 cup sugar 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • whisk
  • hand mixer
  • aluminum foil
  • spatula

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line crust with aluminum foil; leave an overhang and fold over edge. Fill crust with dried beans, pie weights, or uncooked rice.
  2. Place crust on a baking sheet; bake until set and lightly golden, about 20 minutes.
  3. Remove foil (and beans).
  4. Bake without foil, 5 to 10 minutes more; if crust bubbles up, press down gently. Cool.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, sour cream, and salt; gradually whisk in lemon juice.
  6. Pour mixture into crust.
  7. Place on a baking sheet; bake until barely set (center of pie will still wiggle slightly), 25 to 35 minutes. Cool completely.
  8. Place 2 tablespoons cold water in a small saucepan, and sprinkle with gelatin; let soften about 5 minutes.
  9. Heat mixture over very low heat, stirring, until gelatin dissolves.
  10. Let cool.
  11. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream and sugar until very soft peaks form. While beating, slowly add gelatin mixture, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, spread over cooled pie. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour or, loosely covered, up to 1 day.
