Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Pour the lemon filling into the cooled tart crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Allow the tart to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Just before serving, top the lemon tart with fresh berries. Enjoy!
