Open oven door and let cool in oven about 1 hour.

In double boiler top, beat egg yolks slightly. Stir in sugar, lemon rind, lemon juice and salt. Cook over boiling water until very thick; cool. Whip 1 cup cream; fold into lemon mixture. Fill pie. Refrigerate 12 to 24 hours. Top with 1 cup whipped cream.
