Lemon pie with meringue

Lemon meringue pie

 

 

This week I decided to present a recipe that I like a lot for dessert or tea. A fresh recipe, that is simple and with a just right tangy flavor. Let’s see the recipe for Lemon Meringue Pie.

 

Time: 1h

Ingredients: (6 peoples)

  • 1 pie dough
  • 3 lemons + zest
  • 1 lime zest +
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 160g caster sugar (lemon cream) + 150g caster sugar
  • 30g butter
  • 3 egg whites

 

Turning to the preparation of the recipe:

Lemon cream:

1. Put the dough in a pie dish

2. Warm whites for 5 minutes (oven at 180 ° c)

3. Squeeze lemons (yellow and green)

4. Zest the lemons

5. Pour the juice and zest in a saucepan (a little bit of pulp does not hurt anyone and it gives the taste)

6. Pour the sugar into the same pot

7. Put three whole eggs in the pan

8. Toss

9. Related saucepan heat the ‘average’ and stir for 15 minutes

10. Two minutes before the end of cooking the butter and stir until butter is completely melted and diluted.

11. Remove the pan and pour the contents of the pie dough

12. Put the lemon tart in the oven (already hot) at 180 ° C for 12 minutes
For the meringue:

1. Up the egg whites until stiff. They must be very firm (after all depends on how you like it, personally I prefer when it is not too close)

2. Add powdered sugar slowly while continuing to beat the eggs. The still beat for 2 to 3 minutes

3. Dress (cover) the meringue on the lemon tart cooled (two solutions: either you spread with a spatula or you form small nuts with a pastry bag)

4. Bake in hot grill or grill while the meringue with a blowtorch

5. Keep cool until ready to serve

6. Bon appetit!
