Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

 

Step 2: Make the Crust

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan to form an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to smooth it out.
  3. Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes , or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
 

Step 3: Prepare the Lemon Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined.
  2. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
 

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  1. Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes , or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  3. Let the tart cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
 

Step 5: Chill and Serve

  1. Once cooled, refrigerate the tart for at least 2–3 hours , or until fully set.
  2. Dust the top with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries before slicing and serving.
