FOOLPROOF SWISS MERINGUE
This is a super stable, delicious, easy-to-make Swiss meringue that's perfect as a base for Swiss meringue buttercream or as a topping for any pie you want to make! Because it's whipped over a bain-marie, it doesn't need to be baked - which makes it especially great for my favorite lemon icebox pie (I suggest trying that if you're into lemon meringue pie!). Precision is important, otherwise it's as foolproof as the title says. Hope you love it as much as I do.

Steps:
- Bring 2 cups of water to a simmer in a medium pot.
- Combine sugar, egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Reduce the heat of the pot and place the bowl over the steam. Whisk egg whites lightly until a digital or candy thermometer inserted into the mixture reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
- Place bowl back onto the stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Whisk on high speed until egg whites are cool and stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Mixture should hold peaks effortlessly and start balling up around the whisk attachment while appearing silky, shiny, and pure white.
- Use meringue immediately. It will hold its shape without separating for about a week in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- For the graham cracker crust: Weigh and mix your dry ingredients together in a bowl. In a stand mixer, cream the butter with both sugars and honey until thoroughly combined. Add to the butter/sugar mixture until just combined. Roll between two pieces of parchment paper to a ¼-inch thickness. Freeze 20 minutes. Note: Please refer to the written recipe for measurements as they've been adjusted from the video.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove top sheet of parchment and bake 30 minutes until brown. When cool, break up pieces and pulse in a food processor until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside at room temperature.
- For the lemon curd: In a saucepan whisk eggs, sugar and lemon juice and slowly bring to a boil, stirring the whole time (to prevent the eggs from cooking). Place through a strainer with a ladle or a China cap into a blender and with the motor on, add butter, a little at a time until emulsified. Set aside.
- For the Swiss meringue: Place egg whites and sugar in a bowl set over simmering water and whisk until sugar is dissolved. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer and whip until soft peaks form. Set aside. Note: Please refer to the written recipe for measurements as they've been adjusted from the video. To assemble: Place graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of a serving glass and layer lemon curd followed by more graham cracker crumbs 3 times. Top with a dollop of meringue. Run a kitchen torch across the top for a toasty finish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Fit a pastry bag with an Ateco #22 star tip; fill with meringue. Pipe 12 to 16 long swirly shapes onto one of the prepared sheets. Gently spread remaining meringue 3/4 inch thick onto the other.
- Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 175 degrees; continue baking until meringue is dry but still white, 35 minutes more, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Set aside swirls; crumble meringue sheet.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine creme fraiche and 1 cup lemon curd; refrigerate until ready to use.
- To assemble parfaits, layer creme-fraiche mixture, crumbled meringue, and blackberries in serving glasses. Spoon some of the remaining 1/2 cup lemon curd into each glass. Top with whipped cream; garnish with meringue swirls. Serve immediately.
BASIC SWISS MERINGUE
This intermediate-level meringue is far more stable than its French counterpart, yet not as hardy as Italian meringue. Its most common, and arguably most stunning, application is a winsome, swooping shell that's baked until firm to the touch though still compellingly chewy within.

Steps:
- Line a 20cm round tin, preferably loose-based, with cling film, using more than one piece if necessary to cover the bottom and up the sides, and pop in the freezer.
- Roughly break up the meringues with your fingers into a bowl, aiming for nothing bigger than a golf ball.
- Put the cream and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until starting to stiffen. Stop when it looks floppy, like Greek yogurt.
- Grate over the lemon zest and sprinkle over the gin and meringue rubble. Use a large spoon or spatula to fold the cream up, over and round, until just combined.
- Stir the lemon curd so it's gloopy rather than firm; if it remains too thick, dilute with a tsp of gin. Dollop over the surface of the cream. Take your spoon and fold it in, turning the bowl as you do so - no more than a dozen folds, so the curd forms streaks. Spoon gently into the tin and freeze for at least four hours. Once firm, cover with cling film.
- About 10-20 mins before serving, remove the parfait from the freezer, invert onto a plate, peel away the cling film, and return right-side-up, at room temperature. Serve in wedges with lemon curd drizzled over and the fruit on the side.
