Ingredients:

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
2 tbsp powdered sugar
30g
1/2 cup butter
110g
3 egg whites
100g
1 tbsp water
16g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g
1 dash salt
1g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.50 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 tbsp of powdered sugar.
3. Cut in 1/2 cup of chilled butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add 1 tbsp of water and mix until the dough comes together.
5. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan.
6. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
1. In a medium bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks.
2. Gently fold in 1 tbsp of lime juice.
3. Spread the lime cream filling evenly over the cooled tart crust.
1. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 3 egg whites and a dash of salt on medium speed until soft peaks form.
2. Gradually add 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
1. Preheat the broiler on your oven.
2. Spread the meringue over the lime cream filling, making sure to seal the edges to prevent shrinking.
3. Place the tart under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the meringue is golden brown.
1. Let the tart cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Slice and enjoy your refreshing lemon lime meringue tart!

Tips:

- Make sure to use cold butter when making the tart crust to keep it flaky.

- Gradually add sugar to the egg whites when making the meringue to ensure they whip up properly.

- For a more pronounced citrus flavor, consider adding a bit of lemon zest to the filling.

- Bake your tart crust with pie weights or dry beans to prevent it from puffing up.

- Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and proper setting of the filling and meringue.
