Unique Dessert Recipe: Lavender Lemon Meringue Tart

As a food blogger always looking for new and exciting flavor combinations, today I am sharing a recipe for a Lavender Lemon Meringue Tart. This dessert is perfect for a sunny afternoon tea or a delicate ending to a romantic dinner.

Ingredients:

• pie crust (200g)
• lemon curd (300g)
• lavender infused cream (200g)
• egg whites (3)
• sugar (150g)
• dried lavender (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• pie tin
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Press the pie crust into a greased pie tin and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.

In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon curd and lavender infused cream until smooth. Pour the mixture into the cooled pie crust and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until glossy peaks form. Spread the meringue over the lemon-lavender filling, creating swirls with the back of a spoon.

Bake the tart in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned. Let it cool before refrigerating for another hour to set completely. Sprinkle dried lavender on top for garnish before serving.

This Lavender Lemon Meringue Tart weighs approximately 800g and serves 8. Each serving is around 100g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

A unique tip for this recipe is to add a touch of lavender essence to the meringue for an extra floral note that enhances the overall flavor profile of the tart.

I encourage you to give this Lavender Lemon Meringue Tart a try and feel free to experiment with different herbs or citrus fruits to make it your own. Enjoy!
