Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Once the crust has cooled, pour the lemon filling into the crust and spread it evenly.

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set and chilled.

Step 8

Before serving, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Step 9
