- Transfer the dough to the pan and press the dough down into the bottom of the pan. Or use a rolling pin to roll out the dough.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cool while making the filling.
- Reduce the oven to 325-degrees Fahrenheit.
- For the filling, use a whisk attachment on a stand mixer to combine yogurt, sugar, and cornstarch. Next add the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Pour into the baked crust and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set.
- Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours and then chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours to overnight before serving.
