So many pretty things in the garden, and the berries and summer fruits are still a little ways away. This pie is light an fresh, and a good excuse for a celebration. Have you you read As Always, Julia? It is the correspondence between Julia Child and Avis Devoto - both fun and informative.
LEMON CREAM PIE
10 ounces crumbled biscotti
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
14 ounces sour cream
3 large lemons - for 1/2 cup lemon juice, zest
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbl powdered sugar

Heat oven to 350. In blender, crumble the biscotti, add butter and sugar. Press into pie pan, bake for 10 minutes, let cool.
Whisk together eggs, sour cream, lemon, pour into crust and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool until at least 2 hours.
Whip the cream and confectioners sugar until soft peaks form, spread on the pie and garnish with more lemon zest. 
Invite some one ot share it, and wear the suede oxfords. Suede is so luxe, it shows you aren't out stomping through rain. And a pot of Earl Grey tea is the best with lemon!
