Prepare the Crust:

Make the Lemon Filling:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until smooth and well incorporated. -
Assemble & Chill:
Pour the lemon filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set.

Serve & Enjoy:
Before serving, garnish the tart with whipped cream, lemon slices, or fresh mint leaves for added flavor and decoration. Slice and enjoy this refreshing no-bake dessert!
Notes
- Make sure the filling is completely chilled and set before serving to achieve the perfect texture.
- For an extra tart flavor, add more lemon zest to the filling.
