Cook, whisking constantly until the mixture becomes pale in color and quite thick. This will take about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately pour through a fine strainer to remove any lumps. Cut the butter into small pieces and whisk into the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the lemon zest. Immediately pour the lemon curd into the baked crust and smooth the top.

- Completely and then chill.
- Make the mastic mousse
- Heat the milk and vanilla to simmering point. Beat together the eggs, sugar and cornstarch to a smooth paste. Pour the hot milk gradually over the egg mixture stirring constantly. Put the mixture back into the saucepan and stir over medium until thickened and bubbles appear. Move from heat, add butter and stir until melted and combined. Cool completely.
- Beat egg whites until foamy, add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peak forms. Start adding sugar gradually and keep beating until stiff peaks forms. Set aside.
- Stir the boiling water with the gelatin until melted and set aside to cool. Beat the heavy cream with the powder sugar until soft peaks forms and immediately add the cooled gelatin. Continue beating until all gelatin is incorporated in the cream.
