VEGAN LEMON MERINGUE PIE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180C. First make the pastry. Add flour to a large mixing bowl, add the frozen grated sugar and rub together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add sugar, salt and water and rub together a little more, but do not overmix!
• Tip out onto a floured surface and bring into a ball
• Wrap in cling film and leave to rest for 10 mins.
• Whilst your dough rests, make the curd. Combine the juice of 5 lemons with the zest, sugar, cornflour, turmeric & oat milk in a saucepan and stir over a low medium heat until it thickens. Leave to cool.
• Roll out your chilled pastry so that it is ½ cm thick and line the pie tin, trim the excess pastry. You may roll a little of the excess into a ball and use this to push the pastry into the corners of the tin. Prick the bottom with a fork, line with parchment and baking beans and bake for 15-20 minutes.
• To make the meringue, whisk the chickpea water in a stand mixer on high speed for 5 minutes until it quadruples in size.
• Add the sugar, vanilla and lemon juice and mix again on high speed for 5 minutes until glossy and the sugar has dissolved.
• When the pastry is cool, fill ¾ with the lemon curd and cool for 30 mins, then dot the meringue on the curd and smooth a little with a spatula. Grooves are good because this will catch under the grill and leave lovely brown caramelised marks.
• Grill for 5 minutes (keep an eye on it though to ensure it doesn't burn!
• Enjoy!

VEGAN LEMON MERINGUE PIE

Steps:

• Line the base and sides of a deep 20cm springform cake tin with baking parchment. Put the biscuits, butter and coconut oil in a food processor and blitz until the mix resembles fine breadcrumbs. Tip into the tin and press into the base and up the sides. Chill for 1 hrs.
• To make the filling, heat the lemon zest and juice, 100ml water and the sugar in a pan set over a low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the turmeric and a pinch of salt. When the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and spoon a little of the mix into a small bowl. Combine with the cornflour to make a paste, then tip into the pan, whisking continuously. Return the pan to the heat and bring to the boil, whisking. Cook for 1 min until thick and glossy.
• Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the cream and butter. Pour the mixture over the base, and return to the fridge. Chill until set, at least 1 hour.
• Heat the oven to 140C/120C fan/ gas 1. Put all the ingredients for the meringue in a large, clean bowl. Beat with an electric whisk for 10-12 mins, or until glossy (it will be quite stretchy). It will take longer to whip than egg whites, so don't be put off if it's still liquid after 5 mins.
• Pipe or spoon the meringue onto the tart. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 1 hr 40-50 mins. Leave to cool in the oven once switched off and slowly bring to room temperature.
