Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine all the ingredients, except the pie crust, in a mixing bowl, beat them together until smooth. Pour mixture into the pie shell and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 degrees F and bake for another 35 minutes or until set. Cool and serve topped with whipped cream.
