Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
• In a medium bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
• Pour the lemon mixture into the pre-baked tart crust and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the center is just set.
• Let the tart cool to room temperature before serving. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.
