Elaboration
Baking can be a good way for children to get started in the kitchen, since they know that the effort will be rewarded with a sweet.

In a bowl, we move the cream cheese well and then add evaporated milk while continuing to beat until we get the creamy texture we are looking for. On the other hand, we grate the skin of the lemon and extract the juice, to also add it to the bowl with the sugar. You just have to spread the contents of the bowl well on the base and let it cool for three hours so that it hardens, and the lemon tart will be ready to be tasted.
