Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp into a small bowl. Set aside for assembly later.
- In a small saucepan, combine the lemon zest, honey, and corn flour.
- Add a small amount of water (about 1/4 cup) to the saucepan and stir well to dissolve the corn flour.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens to a smooth, custard-like consistency.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a clean, heatproof bowl, whisk the egg whites until they begin to froth.
- Gradually add sugar (not listed in the ingredients list, but generally, meringue needs some sweetener - about 1/4 cup). Whisk continuously as you add the sugar.
- Place the bowl over a simmering pot of water (double boiler method) and continue to whisk until the sugar has dissolved completely and the egg whites are warm to touch.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to whisk using an electric mixer at high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Take 4 small serving glasses or dessert pots.
- Divide the lemon mixture evenly among the pots.
- Spoon a layer of the prepared passionfruit pulp over the lemon mixture.
- Top each pot with a generous dollop of the meringue, creating peaks with the back of a spoon.
- Optionally, for a more dramatic presentation, use a kitchen torch to gently brown the meringue.
- Serve immediately for a room-temperature treat, or chill in the refrigerator for about an hour if you'd prefer a cooler dessert.
Tips:
- Ensure all your utensils are clean and dry before making the meringue, as any grease or water can affect the egg whites' ability to reach stiff peaks.
- When separating egg whites from yolks, do so one at a time in a separate bowl to avoid contaminating the whole batch if one yolk breaks.
- Use fresh passion fruits for the best flavor, and make sure to strain the seeds if you prefer a smoother texture.
- For an extra touch, lightly torch the meringue with a blowtorch to add a golden brown finish.
