•    In a large bowl, whisk together the whipping cream, ricotta, eggs, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper.

•    Stir in most of the zucchini slices, reserving enough for a layer on top of the tart.

•    Pour the mixture into the cooled crust.

•    Layer the remaining zucchini slices on top, and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.

•    Bake it for an hour.
