270g pure greed fresh lemon curd |
While
the shell is cooking, make the meringue by beating the egg whites
with the cream of tarter until the mixture forms soft peaks,
gradually add the sugar, beating well after each addition, until the
mixture is smooth and shiny. Reheat
the lemon curd, fill the hot pastry shell with hot lemon curd. Top
with the meringue mixture using a fork to form decorative peaks.
Bake pie in a 160C oven for 30 minutes. The meringue should be
lightly coloured and crisp on the outside but still soft on the
inside. Cool the pie on a wire rack until cold. Fill your glasses with
Botrytis Semillon...and discover how good life can be!
Chef’s note:
You can buy pre-baked sweet pastry shells in most supermarkets.
