  • Turn oven down to 300°F. Whisk whole eggs with remaining sugar for 2-3 mins until light and creamy. Add lemon juice and zest then fold in whipped cream. Transfer to cooled tart shell and bake on bottom shelf of oven for 40 mins. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. Dust with powdered sugar and place under broiler to caramelize. Let cool for 5-10 mins then remove from pan and serve.
