No Bake Lemon Meringue Pie.

 

A few weeks ago I was really disappointed because I couldn't produce those beautifully caramelised meringue swirls on top of my lemon tart. This week I tried a simpler lemon tart recipe because I just wanted finish off the tart quickly to focus on the meringue because I finally bought a can of gas for my blow torch.

I must say that even though the blow torch looks extremely intimidating, I'm absolutely in love with it. Granted, I do still have lots of practice to do to get that perfect golden color swirls but I'm happy with my first try, although I'm terrified of the extremely strong flame from it.

This was a no bake tart recipe and it turned out surprisingly well. It had the perfect lemony taste which was offset by the sweetness of the meringue and the buttery graham base although it looked like a dessert which required a lot of effort. 

This would definitely be a great dessert to impress your guests with if you need a last minute dessert for any party!
