Mix the lime zest and egg yolks for 4 minutes on medium-high speed.
Pour in the condensed milk and lime juice. Mix on the same speed for 3 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a 9-inch prepared pan with crust.
Bake at 350°F (160°C) for 18-20 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight wobble.
Chill the tart for 1 hour, or 3 hours for a full set.
Top with fresh whipped cream before serving.
Ensure the lime zest is finely grated to evenly distribute flavor.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best taste.
Chilling for 3 hours ensures the tart is fully set and easier to slice.

A homemade graham cracker crust or shortbread crust pairs perfectly with the lime filling.
How do I know when the tart is done baking?
The edges should be set, and the center should have a slight wobble when gently shaken.
Can I make this tart ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the tart a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
What can I use instead of whipped cream for topping?
You can use meringue or a dusting of powdered sugar as an alternative topping.
