For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the crushed Rice Chex cereal in a dry pan for a few minutes before mixing with the other crust ingredients. This will enhance the nutty notes and add depth to the crust. Be patient while cooking the lemon curd. The mixture needs time to thicken properly. Constant whisking is key to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth, luscious texture. If you don't have fresh lemon zest, a few drops of pure lemon extract can be used as a substitute, but fresh zest offers the best aroma and flavor.
