   • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth.
   • Gradually add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
   • Blend in the egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each yolk is fully incorporated before adding the next.
   • Beat in the lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined.
   • Gradually add the flour and cream, mixing until the filling is smooth and creamy.

2. Whip the Egg Whites:

   • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy using a hand or stand mixer.
   • Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
   • Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, beating until firm but moist peaks form.

3. Combine the Fillings:

   • Gently fold a small spoonful of the whipped egg whites into the lemon mixture to lighten it.
   • Then, carefully fold in the remaining whipped egg whites until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

4. Assemble and Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Pour the prepared lemon filling into the baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
   • Bake the pie at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
   • Continue baking for an additional 25 minutes or until the top is well risen and firm to the touch.

5. Cool and Serve:

   • Once baked, transfer the pie to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
   • Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 6 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
   • Slice and serve the chilled Lemon Pudding Pie, garnishing with additional lemon zest or whipped cream if desired.
