Step by step recipe

---

Stage 1 - 30 min.

Roll out the pastry and line the tart tin or mould, then "bake blind".

---

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Once it has cooled, take the pastry case out of the tin or mould and transfer to a serving plate.

---

Stage 3 - 30 min.

Prepare 500 g of lemon curd.

---

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Pour the lemon curd into the tart case while it is still warm.

---

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Smooth the top of the filling with a palette-knife and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

---

Stage 6 - 2 hours

Your lemon tart is ready.

---

Stage 7 - 10 min.

To turn this into a lemon meringue pie, follow the same method as for pear and lime meringue pie. Cover the filling with rosettes of meringue piped with a forcing bag.

---

Stage 8 - 5 min.

Finish by browning the meringue with a gas torch or under a very hot grill for a few seconds.

Remarks

If you don't feel confident about making Italian meringue, normal meringue works well, too.
