Instructions

Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar in a small bowl
Place the crumb mixture into the 9" tart pan and press firmly in place using the bottom of a glass (as shown in the video) Press firmly using the flat bottom of a glass,especially up the sides. A well-packed crust won’t crumble when you slice.
Set the tart pan in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to a medium sized bowl
Pour in the heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk. Add the vanilla, and mix well. Mix on medium speed or by hand until thick andwell combined — about 1–2 minutes. The mixture will thicken slightly as thelemon juice reacts with the cream.
Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust.
Chill for at least 4 hours, preferablyovernight. The longer it chills, the cleaner your slices will be.
Garnish with whipped cream
