Lemon Meringue

Ingredients

Powdered Sugar - 7.1 oz
Egg white - 7 pieces
Meyer Lemon Juice - 7 fl oz
Citrus Zest Mix - 2 pieces
Heavy cream - 8.8 oz
Egg white - 3.5 oz
Vanillin - a pinch

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Filling: Beat the eggs with sugar until smooth. Squeeze the juice from the lemons. Add the juice, zest, and cream. Mix well.

Step 2

Pour the resulting mixture into a slightly cooled base and return it to the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes at 150°C. The surface will harden while the center remains soft. Allow the pie to cool completely.

Step 3

Meringue: Whip the egg whites with a mixer on medium speed until stable peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and vanillin. The mixture should become thick and glossy.

Step 4

Place the resulting mixture over a water bath. Continuously whip it until it thickens sufficiently. Spread the whipped egg whites over the filling. Use a torch or the oven grill to brown the top. The meringue should be 'toasted' on top while remaining soft inside.
