  • Make the lime filling: To a medium heatproof bowl, add egg yolks and lime juice. whisk until combined. 

  • Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture has thickened and registers 160°F on a thermometer, 5-10 minutes. 

  • Remove bowl from heat. Add condensed milk and zest and whisk until combined. Pour filling into cooled cookie crust and smooth top with a spatula. Place in freezer and freeze until firm, 2-3 hours.

  • Remove tart from freezer 10 minutes before serving.

  • Make the whipped cream: To a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment add whipping cream, powdered sugar, lime zest, and vanilla. Turn to medium speed and whip until medium peaks form. 

  • Spread whipped cream evenly over tart, and serve immediately.
