For an extra intense lemon flavor, let the filling sit for 30 minutes before pouring it into the crust. This allows the lemon zest to infuse the mixture more thoroughly. If you don't have a tart pan with a removable bottom, you can use a pie dish. However, it may be more difficult to remove the tart neatly. The tart is best served chilled. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
