CHEATS LEMON MERINGUE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220C (200°C fan) mark 7. Remove packaging and put the tart case on a baking sheet. Spoon in the lemon curd and level the surface.
• Put the egg whites into a large, clean bowl and beat with a handheld electric whisk until they hold stiff peaks. (To test, dip the beaters into the mixture and lift them out - any white left on the beaters should stand proudly rather than flopping over.) Gradually add the sugar, whisking constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
• Spoon or pipe the meringue on top of the lemon filling, then bake for about 5min or until the meringue is golden. Leave to rest for 10 minutes before serving with single cream or ice cream. Like this? You'll love... How to make lemon tart Banoffee pie recipe Best tarte tatin recipes

Steps:

• Mix all crust ingredients well then press into a 9-inch/23 cm tart dish or quiche pan (I used one with a removable bottom) bringing crumbs up the sides on the pan.
• Preheat the oven to 375F/190C.
• Place condensed milk in a bowl, then whisk in the egg yolks and lemon juice and zest. Pour into the tart pan on top of the crust.
• To make the meringue--make sure your bowl is free of any grease--don't use a plastic bowl. Glass or stainless is best. I usually re-wash the bowl and rinse it well then swish some white vinegar around in the bowl then rinse again and dry with a clean paper towel.
• If using a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment.
• Place the egg whites in the bowl and beat at very high speed until the whites look like clouds, then slowly add the sugar about a tablespoon at a time, until the whites form stiff peaks.
• Place the meringue in dollops on top of the filling--this makes it easier to spread (trust me on this). Using the back of a spoon, gently cover the filling and up and over the crust top. Use the spoon to make gentle swirls
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until meringue starts to get golden on the swirls.
• Let stand for about 30 minutes, then serve when warm
