Ingredients
- 1 frozen 9-inch piecrust (or 1 homemade)
- 1 lemon, whole, medium size
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick; 4-ounces)
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- Sweetened whipped cream for topping before serving
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat over to 350 degrees F.
If using frozen pie crust, set it out to thaw. After it thaws, place it into a 9-inch pie pan. Make it fit the pan then crimp the edges so it looks nice. Place the pan on a cookie sheet.
Cut the rough edges off the lemon. Cut the lemon into half and then cut the half into 4 slices. (the slices should be round, like wagon wheels.)
Cut the second half the sames, ending with a total of 8 slices.
Examine the slices and pick out all seeds. Throw the seeds away.
Place the 8 seedless lemon slices in a blender or food processor.
Process the slices until they are mush.
Melt the half-cup butter in the microwave.
Pour the melted butter over the lemon mush in the blender or food processor.
Add the sugar.
Crack the 4 eggs and add one at a time.
Turn on the blend or food processor and blend everything until it is a homogeneous mush.
Pour the mixture into the crust.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 40 minutes or until mixture turns solid and the top is brown.
Take pie out of oven and cool. Once it is cool, cover it with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
