4. Finely remove the zest from half the lemon and add to the dough.
Pour in the juice from half a lemon (I got 1.5 tablespoons of juice). Mix them into the dough.
5. Roll the dough into a ball - it should hold its shape. If the dough is too soft, add a little flour.
6. Line a springform pan with a diameter of 24 cm with parchment.

10. Transfer all the curd filling into the prepared form with dough, align the edges of the sides
11. Bake the shortbread tart in an oven preheated to 170 degrees for 1 hour. At the end of baking, the center should jiggle slightly.
Turn off the heat and let the cheesecake sit in the hot (cooling) oven for 20 minutes.
Then remove from the oven.
12. Remove the tart from the mold and leave at room temperature for another 20-30 minutes.
