Ingredients

¾ cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
½ cup half-and-half
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
2 tablespoons butter
1 prepared shortbread pie crust

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Mix sugar, flour, and salt together in a 3-quart pot. Slowly add milk and half-and-half and bring to a boil. Cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set custard aside.
Bake empty crust in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Fill cooled crust with lemon custard filling and allow pie to cool completely. Place in the freezer and freeze for 8 hours to overnight.
