Bake the chilled or frozen pie shell in preheat 375 degree oven till golden brown (about 25 min.) Cool on wire rack and leave the oven on. Whisk together the lemon juice and sugar, followed by the cream, eggs and egg yolks, until thoroughly combined. Pour into a saucepan and cook over moderate heat, whisking constantly, until the filling thickens, about 5 minutes. Do not boil. Pour through a strainer into the pie shell and back for 5 minutes. Cool on wire rack at room temperature or slightly chilled.
