For an extra tangy flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling. If you don't have a double boiler, you can gently heat the egg yolk mixture in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. For a graham cracker crust variation, use a pre-made graham cracker crust or make your own. To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, you can use a pie shield or cover the edges with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking. Fresh lemon juice is key for the best flavor! Avoid using bottled lemon juice if possible.
