Ingredients
  

  • 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (thawed and drained if frozen)
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan off heat, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until no lumps remain.
  • Gradually whisk in the water until smooth, then set over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, 5–7 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking in a ladle of the hot mixture. Return the yolk mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking, for 1–2 minutes until glossy and thick.
  • Off heat, whisk in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter until smooth.
  • Let the lemon filling cool for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so a skin doesn’t form.
  • Gently fold in the raspberries (strain seeds first if you prefer a smoother texture). Taste and adjust sweetness with a teaspoon of sugar if berries are very tart.
  • Pour the filling into the pre-baked 9-inch crust and smooth the top.
  • Cover the surface lightly (plastic wrap touching the filling helps prevent a skin) and refrigerate until fully set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Slice and serve chilled. Top with whipped cream and extra raspberries if desired.
