Ingrédients

** For 6 persons **
* For the shortbread dough:
180 grams of flour
90 grams of butter
50 grams of sugar
2 egg yolks
4 cl water
1 pinch of salt
* For the lemon cream :
2 lemons
135 grams of sugar
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
15 cl of fresh cream
1 pinch of salt
* For the meringue :
4 egg whites
115 grams of icing sugar
1 pinch of salt

Présentation

1* For the dough: preheat the oven to 180°C.
2In a bowl, pour the egg yolks (set the whites aside) and the sugar with a little water. Whisk the mixture until it turns white.
3On your work surface, use your fingers to mix the flour and the chopped butter until you have a sandy mixture.
4In the middle of your mixture, make a hole to pour your egg yolk and sugar mixture.
5Take a pie dish and place greaseproof paper on it to prevent the dough from sticking to the bottom of the dish.
6When you have finished mixing the dough, form it into a ball and roll it out directly into your pie dish.
7Place in the oven for 10 minutes, the dough should not have time to brown.
8* For the cream: Take a bowl and mix 2 whole eggs, 2 yolks (keeping the whites aside), the cream and the sugar. Mix everything together.
9Add the juice of 2 lemons and mix again.
10Once the 10 minutes have passed, remove the tart shell from the tower and pour the lemon cream inside. Bake the tart for 30 minutes at 180°C.
11During the cooking time, prepare the meringue.
12To do this, pour your 4 egg whites, previously set aside with a pinch of salt, into a salad bowl. Once stiff, slowly add the icing sugar while continuing to beat the mixture.
13Once the tart is cooked, let it cool a little and place your meringue on top. Using a blowtorch, lightly brown the meringue.
14If you want a crunchy meringue, place your tart in the oven for about 40 minutes.
15Enjoy your meal!

Finish your meal with the soft cuvée from Domaine d'Arton, Les deux Cèdres. This Côte-de-Gascogne is the perfect accompaniment to a beautiful lemon meringue pie. Its aromas of white peach and candied lemon peel will accentuate the greediness of this famous dessert.
