Crust and Filling

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Make the Lemon Custard

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the custard mixture over the baked crust.

  3. 3

    Bake the Custard

    Return the pie dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the custard is set and lightly browned.

  4. 4

    Cool and Assemble

    Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, spread the French apricot preserves over the top of the custard. Sprinkle with toasted almonds.

  5. 5

    Drizzle with White Chocolate

    Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the pie. Let it set before slicing.
