Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe

Hiii Guys
Welcome back for another feast! Today I’m sharing my lemon meringue tart (or pie) recipe using up some of my delicious seasonal lemons from my tree. I hope you’ll enjoy baking with me as I walk you through every step of making this tart - a super simple ginger biscuit base, condensed milk lemon custard filling and a Swiss meringue that’s lightly torched (I show you how to get that toasted top In the oven if you don’t have a blowtorch) for that campsite marshmallow touch. Enjoy!

Awesome recipe. Just one question, if I were to make a graham cracker crust, should I prebake it? or just refrigerate it?

[@Angel141103]

Looks so easy and delicious, one question can i use another sort of biscuit as i have an allergy to ginger ?

[@zolasfeastsbyzolanene1208]

Yes, use your favourite biscuit 😊

[@Angel141103]

Yes yes and yes!!!!! Great video Zola! Where can I find that juicer contraption??

[@zolasfeastsbyzolanene1208]

Thank you 😊 I got my citrus juicer a few years ago from Banks Kitchen Shop, but Yuppiechef also has it 🍋

[@Angel141103]

@@zolasfeastsbyzolanene1208 got me one from checkers... Now 2 quick qs, did you bake the pie filling as is or did you place it on an oven tray and then onto oven rack... And also pls give me a guideline on time to toast the meringue in the oven and what temp is safe to not burn?

[@valborchardt3596]

Yum yum, thanks Zola….btw where did you get that goodie that you squeezed the lemon juice with? Thanks lovey

[@zolasfeastsbyzolanene1208]

I bought mine a few years ago at Banks Kitchen Shop… but I’ve seen it at Checkers Hyper and I’m sure you’ll find it as any hood kitchenware store too 😊

Hi, Zola, love the video. Please explain why in other countries they have AP flour and we don't? All we have is cake flour or if we see AP it's super expensive and can only be bought online.

[@zolasfeastsbyzolanene1208]

I think that’s a question for the flour companies Brandon… I have no idea why, possibly because the demand isn’t there, really not sure 🤷🏽‍♀️

What is caster sugar?

[@zolasfeastsbyzolanene1208]

Sugar with fine granules

[@lavernerampono2335]

Tried this today. Followed vid to the letter, however meringue did not set well, remained a little runny(not nice stiff peaks). 🤔🙁😔. Taste of biscuit base and filling were on point though! 👌 Just a bit disappointed with the actual Swiss meringue 😞😥🤔 Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

[@zolasfeastsbyzolanene1208]

Oh no… let’s troubleshoot your meringue situation to see what may have gone wrong so you can get it perfect next time… - are you sure your bowl was clean (with no traces of fat - fat prevents egg whites from whipping)? - did you crack your eggs carefully and not get any egg yolks in the whites? (Any yolk in the whites will mean the egg whites won’t fully whip) - Was the sugar fully dissolved when you heated it with the egg whites? (Sugar needs to be melted before whipping) - You didn’t curdle the egg whites? (Heating them too long over the simmering water… that’s why the bowl should never touch the dinting water) - Did you use an electric whisk to whip the egg whites? (Whipping by hand would take a very long time & won’t yield the same fluffy results) - Did you whip the egg whites for long enough? You want to whip until still peaks (this takes at about 8-10 minutes with an electric whisk)

@@zolasfeastsbyzolanene1208 thank you Zola for your prompt response and Troubleshooting Tips. As I 'aced' all the others, I think the culprit was leaving the egg whites to steam a little too long(bowl definitely wasn't touching though) Rested on metal collander over pot to ensure. Maximum time- 5-7 min? Whisked with electric mixture for easy more than 10 min, didn't help though. Family, still enjoyed as taste was super-delicious!😋👌 Just could slice, used spoon is 'scoop' portions. 😉 Now that I know where it went 'wobbly! 😜 Next time : I shall Conquer😁😊
