Method

1. In a food processor, process the biscuits until fine crumbs form. Combine the biscuits with the melted butter. Place a layer of crumb base into a glass, top with a spoon of lemon curd. Repeat for all glasses, then set aside.
2. In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the egg whites and sugar constantly for 2 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 50°C.
3. Transfer to a small bowl and beat with an electric beater on high speed for 10 minutes, or until firm peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
4. Spoon meringue evenly on top of the lemon curd. Brown the tops with a blow torch if you have one.
Helpful Tip:
To test if sugar has dissolved in the meringue, rub a small amount of meringue between your thumb and finger. You will be able to feel if there are any undissolved sugar grains.
