(that was not set aside for the topping) into the lightened curd using
                a  wide  spatula  and  five  or  six  turns.  It’s  alright  if  there  are  some

                white  streaks remaining.  Pile  the lemon  cream  filling  into  the crust
                and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
                    Top  the  pie  with  remaining  whipped  cream.  Use  the  back  of  a
                tablespoon to make fluffy peaks across the top. Or use a piping bag

                to decorate.  Chill  the tart for at least  1 hour  and  keep  chilled  until
                serving.

                  Instead of zest and juice from regular (Eureka) lemons, use Meyer
                  lemons, Ruby grapefruit, Key limes, or Cara Cara oranges.
