Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- Fresh blueberries (for garnish)
- Lemon slices (for garnish)
Optional Substitutions:
- Dairy-Free: Use coconut milk instead of sweetened condensed milk and a dairy-free whipped cream alternative.
- Gluten-Free: Swap graham cracker crumbs for gluten-free cookies or oats.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the crust. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until they are evenly combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a tart pan to form the crust. Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to set. This ensures it holds its shape when you add the filling.
Step 2: Make the lemon filling. In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until the mixture is smooth. This forms the tangy, creamy base of your tart.
Step 3: Fold in the whipped cream. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream. This will keep the filling light and airy, giving it that velvety texture.
Step 4: Assemble and chill the tart. Pour the lemon filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Cover the tart and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set and firm to the touch.
Step 5: Garnish and serve. Before serving, garnish the tart with fresh blueberries and slices of lemon. These add a burst of color and a touch of freshness to the dessert.
