1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork and blind bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
2
Infuse the Cream
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and bay leaves. Heat over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat, cover, and let it steep for 15 minutes.
3
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Remove the bay leaves from the cream and slowly whisk the infused cream into the egg mixture, followed by the vanilla extract.
4
Bake the Pie
Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
5
Cool and Serve
Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally garnished with whipped cream or lemon zest.
