Serves 8

The Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup powdered sugar
pinch salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter, sliced thin

The Filling:
4 eggs
1 ½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon zest
½ cup lemon juice
½ cup butter, room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. Combine the flour, powdered sugar, salt and butter in a mixing bowl and blend together using a fork. Press into a greased 8-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Place the crust in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.

3. Bake the crust for about 12-15 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

4. Whisk together eggs, 1 ½ cups sugar and salt in a heavy bottomed stainless steel pan. Add zest and lemon juice; cook over a medium heat, whisking constantly until thick about 6-8 minutes until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.

5. Remove from heat and stir in the butter a little at a time until fully incorporated. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until cold.

6. Whisk together the cream and sugar to stiff peaks. Pour the lemon filling into the pre-baked tart shell and spread evenly on the bottom; top with the whipped cream. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
