  3. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is glossy and coats the back of a spoon.

  5. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan using the back of a spoon or your fingers to create an even crust.
  6. Pour the hot strawberry lemon curd filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the tart in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until fully chilled and set.
