Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel and seed half of the cucumber. Puree along with 1/2 cup lime juice in a blender until smooth. Add egg yolks and milk. Blend until fully combined and thickened, about 1 minute.  Transfer filling to crust and bake until just set around edges but still slightly wobbly in the center, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then chill completely. Combine sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, 1 minute; chill. Beat whipping cream at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in half of the lime syrup. Cut remaining cucumber into thin strips and toss with remaining syrup. Top pie with whipped cream, cucumber, and lime zest before serving.
