Ingredients

  • 1 9 inch frozen pre-made pie crust
  • 2 8oz bricks of cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice freshly squeezed, about 4-5 Meyer lemons
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  • Prepare the pie crust by parbaking it. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. While heating, let frozen, pre-made pie crust sit out to thaw a bit (about 20 minutes).
  • (This part is optional.) When crust is thawed, move it to a glass pie dish and mold it to the sides.
  • Prick bottom with fork, place on cookie sheet, and bake for 12 minutes. You aren't trying to bake it until it is golden, only until it is partially cooked.
  • While the crust is being prepared, mix the rest of ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
  • When pie crust is done, take out. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
  • Fill the pie crust and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly wobbly.
  • Let cook for 10 minutes, then put in refrigerator to set for 4 to 5 hours.
  • Top with lemon zest and whip cream before serving.
