Method

  1. Step 1:

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole eggs, sugar and corn flour until smooth.

  2. Step 2:

    Finely grate the zest of the lemons and lime and squeeze the juice of the lemons. Mix well and add the water.

  3. Step 3:

    Put the bowl over a pan of simmering water and keep stirring until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and add the butter and keep whisking until the butter has melted and the mixture becomes glossy.

  4. Step 4:

    Fill the tartlet cases to the top with the lemon and lime curd. Chill in the refrigerator to set.

  5. Step 5:

    In the meantime, make the meringue. In a large bowl, add the egg whites and whisk on full speed adding a little sugar at a time until you get a glossy thick meringue. Add the cornflour and continue to whisk for a minute or two.

  6. Step 6:

    Place the meringue into a piping bag and pipe high peaks onto the set lemon tarts. Gently blow torch the meringues until golden brown. Serve.
