Step-by-Step Method
Mix starch
In a medium-sized pot, mix corn starch and granulated sugar with a wire whisk. This way you reduce clumping from the beginning.
Roll out and cook with milk
Whisk constantly while slowly adding the milk. Place the pot on medium heat; Cook by stirring until it thickens and is close to boiling.
Add oil and flavor
When the consistency thickens, add the butter and stir until it melts. Add lemon juice and lemon zest and stir over low heat for another 1-2 minutes.
Gently fold in sour cream
Remove the pot from the stove. Add the sour cream one or two at a time and whisk quickly but in a controlled manner to obtain a smooth consistency.
Beat cream separately
Beat the cold cream in a separate bowl until it thickens slightly. A fluid-dense consistency is sufficient without making it too hard.
Combine and cool
Fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture with a spatula. Transfer the mixture to the pie bowl, smooth the top and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Serve
You can let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing. If desired, sprinkle extra lemon zest on top and serve.
