- Lastly mix in 2 teaspoon of lemon extract and ½ teaspoon of lemon zest.
- Pour the filling into the prepared tart crust. Bake the tart for 16-18 minutes at 350 degrees. The center will be slightly jiggly still.
- Let the pie chill on the counter for 15 minutes and then in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
- Top with fresh berries if you desire and serve!
