½cupof powdered sugar
4ouncesof cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
1whole egg
3/4teaspoonof vanilla
4 to 6ouncesof ice cold water

4eggs

zest of 1 whole lemon
½cupof lemon juice
½cupof sugar
1 to 1 1/2sticks of cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
3cupsof assorted fresh berries
Instructions
For the Lemon Curd: In a large metal bowl add in the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar and whisk it over a pot of simmering water.
Whisk it until it becomes very thick to make a curd. Once it is thick remove it from the heat and whisk in the cold butter. Pour the curd from the metal bowl into another container and place it into the refrigerator overnight.
For the Crust: In a food processor add in the flour, sugar, vanilla and butter and pulse a few times until the butter is the size of rice.
Next, add in the egg and pulse while slowly drizzling in the water until just combined.
After it's combined roll out the dough on a flour dusted surface until it is about an eighth of an inch thick and place it over a standard pie pan and dock it using a knife or fork.
Next, cut out a circle round from parchment paper and place it on the dough followed up with 2 cups of dry beans.
Put the pan in the oven on 375° for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely.
Once cool and the curd is chilled, pour the curd into the pie shell and top off with fresh berries. Chill together completely before slicing and serving.
