Method

Making the Lemon Tart

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in egg yolks and mix well. Gradually add flour and baking powder until a dough forms. Press the dough into a tart pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the tart crust for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

  4. 4

    Fill the Tart

    Pour the lemon filling into the cooled tart shell and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until set. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Making the Meringue

  1. 5

    Prepare the Meringue

    In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

  2. 6

    Toast the Meringue

    Spread the meringue over the cooled lemon tart and use a kitchen torch to toast the meringue until golden brown.

Making the Pineapple Sorbet

  1. 7

    Prepare the Sorbet

    In a blender, combine chopped pineapple, sugar, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Pour into a shallow dish and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Scoop the pineapple sorbet and serve alongside the lemon tart topped with toasted meringue.
