Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Spray an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray (or lightly oil).
For the crust:

- Place tart pan on a sheet pan. Bake crust in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Set crust aside to cool completely before filling.
For the filling:
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form when you lift the beater. Fold in the condensed milk, lemon zest, lemon juice and Limoncello.
- Spread the filling into the pan evenly, swirling the top a bit. Place in the freezer until firm, at least 3-4 hours (can be up to a week).
- To serve, garnish tart with fresh fruit and edible flowers if desired. Slice and serve directly from the freezer. Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream and more edible flowers or a thin half slice of lemon and a sprig of mint.
