Bring the lemon juice, zest and sugar to a slow simmer in one saucepan. Add the cream, then pass off once cooled. Add into the eggs and pass through a fine sieve. When baking the tart, bake on a low fan and alternate the tart around the oven several times so it bakes evenly, when the center is still wobbly pull it from the oven. Do not bake it until the center is completely cracked or the surface will crack.

Bake at 90c for approx.. 25-30 minutes.
