How to Make Raspberry Lemon Meringue Tart
Preheat your oven to 425 F or 210 C degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
To make the pie dough, in a large bowl, rub together the butter and the flour alongside with salt and sugar. Rub it until sand consistency forms. Add in the water and form a dough. Wrap it in parchment paper and let it cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Roll out the dough on your work surface and cut rounds to place it individual mini-tarts. Spread the dough evenly and bake it for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool completely before adding the filling.
In a saucepan over medium heat add in water, sugar, lemon juice, corn starch, flour, lemon zest, egg yolks, and vanilla. Whisk until combined and cook until thickens. Strain it to a fine-mesh sieve and cool completely.
Fill each mini tart shell with the raspberry marmalade and on top of that add in the lemon curd.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until stiff peaks form and decorate with meringue each tart. Burn each meringue with a torch, serve with lemon and fresh raspberries, and serve straight away.
