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.
