Ingredients
300g caster sugar
4 large eggs
50g butter
Zest and juice of 5 lemons
½ tsp corn flour
½ tsp white wine vinegar
200g Raspberries
300g double cream
Icing sugar to dust
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C fan. Grease and line a 25cm x 30cm baking.
- Add the raspberries,1 tbsp of caster sugar and 1 tsp of lemon juice into a saucepan and gently simmer for 10 minutes until jammy. Remove and set aside to cool.
- For the curd, add the butter, 100g caster sugar, lemon zest and the juice of 3 lemons into a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Allow all the ingredients to melt together, stirring occasionally. Whisk in 4 egg yolks for around 10 minutes until you have a thick, custard-like consistency. Strain through a sieve into a bowl and set aside to cool. Discard the pulp.
- For the meringue, whisk the 4 egg whites together until stiff peaks have formed. Add 200g of caster sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time until you have a thick and shiny mixture. Fold in the vinegar, cornflour and zest of 2 lemons.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared tin, smoothing out the top until level. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp and lightly golden.
- Gently flip the meringue out of the tin and onto a sheet of baking paper and gently peel away the baking paper from the bottom. Leave to cool.
- Lightly whip the cream, then swirl in ½ the lemon curd. Spread over the meringue then drizzle ½ of the jammy raspberries and another tablespoon of the lemon curd. Tightly roll the meringue, using the baking paper to help. Transfer to a serving dish and dust with icing sugar. Drizzle over the remaining raspberry compote and lemon curd. Serve straight away.
