Mini Lemon Meringue Pies image

These are just perfect for a light dinner party dessert! And totally simple. You could also fill with lemon curd, or Top N Fill for a caramel twist. I think this is from the Sydney Morning Herald?

Time 36m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

400 g frozen shortcrust pastry, sheets
2 large eggs, separated
400 g sweetened condensed milk
80 ml lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest, to taste
100 g caster sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 220°C.
  • Cut a dozen 10cm circles from pastry and line a 12-hole non-stick muffin tin. Prick the bases and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden, then cool.
  • Whisk yolks, condensed milk, zest and juice in a bowl and set aside to thicken.
  • In another bowl, beat whites to form soft peaks.
  • Gradually add sugar, still beating, until you have a thick and glossy "meringue".
  • Spoon the lemon filling into the pastry cases and top each with meringue, creating little peaks by drawing the spoon up.
  • Bake for 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool before serving.
