Equipment

  • mini tartlet pans
  • kitchen torch
  • electric mixer

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1.5 cups Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter

For the Filling & Meringue

  • 1 cup Lemon Curd
  • 3 large Egg Whites
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Cream Of Tartar
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Mix the almond flour, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into 4 mini tartlet pans.
  • Bake the crusts for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let them cool completely.
  • Fill each cooled tartlet crust generously with the lemon curd, smoothing the tops with a spoon.
  • In a large clean glass bowl, combine the egg whites, granulated sugar, and cream of tartar. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Remove the bowl from the heat and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until glossy, stiff peaks form. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Spoon or pipe the fluffy meringue onto the top of each lemon tartlet, ensuring the lemon curd is fully covered to the edges.
  • Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the outside of the meringue until beautifully golden brown. Serve immediately or chill.
