Lime Sour Cream Pie
makes 6-8 servings

1 baked 9-inch pie shell
3/4 cup sugar
3 Tbsp cornstarch
freshly grated peel of 2 large limes (about 2 1/2 tsp.)
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup half and half
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup dairy sour cream
1 cup whipping cream
1-2 Tbsp confectioner's sugar

Combine 3/4 cup sugar with cornstarch and lime peel in medium
saucepan and mix well. Add lime juice and stir until smooth; blend
in half and half and butter. Place over medium heat and stir until
mixture thickens and starts to boil, about 10-12 minutes. Remove
from heat and let cool, stirring occasionally. Fold in sour cream.
Turn mixture into shell.

Combine whipping cream and 1-2 Tbsp sugar in medium bowl, and whip
to soft peaks. Spread on top of pie and serve.

Note: This can be made with lemons (especially Meyer lemons). It
can also be made with other kinds of crusts like a graham cracker
crust.
