- Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool.
- While the crust is resting, in an electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, whip the egg yolks and lemon zest at high speed until fluffy, or 5 to 6 minutes.
- Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to whip until thick, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
- Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lemon juice until incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the crust and bake for 15 minutes, or until the filling has just set. Cool on a wire rack, and then refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Whip the cream, add the condensed milk, lemon juice and vanilla until nearly stiff. Evenly spread the whipped cream on top of the pie, and place in the freezer for 20 minutes prior to serving.
