Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine biscuit crumbs, butter, and sugar in a bowl. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan using your fingers and the back of a spoon.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let crust cool (leave the oven on).

Step 4

Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and calamansi peel in a bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium, gradually add condensed milk, and mix until smooth and thick. Stir in calamansi juice and mix until well combined. Pour mixture into tart shell.

Step 5

Bake until the center is set, but not brown, about 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes more.

Step 6

Meanwhile, whip heavy cream and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Serve topped with a generous amount of whipped cream.
