Okay, I think it's time for the lemon meringue tart to have a make over, not that I don't like the classic version. Whenever I host cookouts or dinner parties, my friends would always have 1 similar request." Jo, when can you make your lemon tart, or lemon meringue tart?" Sadly all these were not captured, recorded and blog about. After all, I only started my blog last year August ;).

This time round, I thought of making the tart a little more interesting. I will fill it with soft velvety lemony lemon curd with lots of zing, and balance it of with the sweetness of pavlova. Not to mention it adds a whole new dimension and texture. Buttery soft crunchy crust, with zesty and zingy smooth lemon curd filling which is topped off with light fluffy mid-crunchy pavlova. I think it works, after all the elements are still a base of a lemon meringue tart. Instead or torching the meringue or baking it in the oven, you get a ready baked pavlova...Very much like 2 desserts in 1.
A new twist to my very own all time favourite tart. Have a great weekend!!

Ow you're a tart queen huh?
ReplyDeleteMe too! ;D
I reckon tart should be the new macarons/cupcakes. They're just so much better than those other fab desserts.
Lemon and pav are classic for sure Jo!
WoW!!! Not only does this look amazing - I LOVED the way you did your printable recipe. You've come a long way, baby!
ReplyDeleteThis lemon meringue makeover is genius! Love the idea of pavlova on top =)
ReplyDeleteStunning tarts! My hubby would love these gems~
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful tarts! I love your adaptation on a classic!
ReplyDeletePierre: Gosh.. your Melbourne photo is making me missing Melbourne every single day. Although it's end Winter and still gloomy, but I really enjoy walking from one end of Swanston to the other, or maybe walk to Vic Mart from Melbourne Central. Speaking of tarts, I had so much of strawberry and lemon tarts there. LOL.. It's just something I do. Always comparing notes like a food writer.. ;P. A tart queen huh? Thank's for the label.. nice to know I'm a tart queen. Hugs, Jo

Bueno sera Twinky! Thanks for stopping by. I visited Italy back in year 2009 in December, winter time. Lovely historical place. Didn't manage to do any shopping in Milan though..hopefully I get to visit other parts like Tuscany, Capri. Havea great week.. Ciao!
ReplyDeleteThat tart looks gorgeous! I absolutely love lemon tarts. Nice touch for finishing with a Pavlova instead of a typical torched meringue. ;)
