Notes
Tips and Tricks
Make sure that the mixing bowl and electric mixer beaters are completely clean and dry before beating the egg whites. Use superfine (caster) sugar instead of regular granulated sugar for a smoother meringue. Make sure to form a well in the center of the meringue to hold the lemon curd and fruit.Nutrition
