Light Lemon Tart

"I found this recipe on the Carnation U.K. website and it was amazing! This recipe is so tasty and easy that I wanted to post here for future reference. Note: I used regular condensed milk with fantastic results for the filling and my own recipe for the crust. It is recommended to use a buttery crust. Also, if you're not familiar with grams you might note that 200 g of condensed milk is very close to 1/2 of a 14 oz can that we find in the U.S., I just tipped out about 1/2 and it worked very well. Also, the oven should be about 350 degrees fahrenheit."
