Time 1h

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest (finely grated)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up
3 sheets phyllo dough
1/2 cup butter, clarified
3/8 cup sugar
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • For curd: Whip eggs and sugar until very light and fluffy with a whip attachment.
  • Gradually mix in lemon juice and rind. Place over boiling water and cook, whisking until extremely thick, about 5 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in butter. Pour into a container, cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight to stiffen.
  • For tart dough:
  • Lay one sheet of phyllo on work surface. Brush with clarified butter and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Repeat the process with the second and third sheets. Cut into 3-inch squares.
  • Lay 18 tartlet molds upside down on a sheet pan. Lay 1 square of phyllo over each pan, then place a second one on top of phyllo to help form tartlet shells. The square corners will spread out flat on the sheet pan.
  • Bake in this upside down position weighted down with another sheet pan at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown.
  • Let phyllo cool slightly, but while still warm remove from molds. Cool completely then fill with lemon curd by piping with a plain tip.
  • For meringue:
  • Whip egg whites until stiff but not dry then add the brown sugar gradually and continue whipping until stiff.
  • Pipe onto lemon curd with a star tip and brown with a blow torch or under the broiler.

The meringue on these tarts was a bit too soft for my liking. I think I would whip it a little longer next time.

The lemon curd filling was a bit too tart for my taste, but the meringue was perfect. I would probably use less lemon juice next time.

These lemon meringue tarts were a delightful treat! The phyllo cups added a nice touch of texture and the lemon curd filling was perfectly tart and sweet. The meringue was light and fluffy, and it browned beautifully in the oven.
