Instructions
Preparing the shortbread dough
Mix the powdered sugar and salt with the butter (at room temperature) to whiten the mixture.
Stir in the egg.

- Spread and line the tartlet moulds.
Prick the dough and bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 165°C.
Lemon-yuzu cream
In a saucepan, whisk sugar, juice and zest until boiling.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the cornflour.
Add the egg and maizena mixture to the pan.
Cook over low heat, stirring until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the butter in pieces.
- Strain if necessary, then let cool slightly.
- Garnish the tart shells and chill for 30 min.
Beat the egg whites until stiff.
Melt the sugar with a little water to about 117° for an Italian meringue.
Gradually add the melted sugar, then the lemon juice to the stiffly beaten egg whites.
- Pocket or spread the meringue over the tartlets.
Brown with a blowtorch or place under the grill for 1-2 minutes (watch carefully!).
Recipe notes
Add a hint of yuzu paste for extra aromatic intensity.
Garnish with a few candied zests.
To save time, the cream can be prepared the day before.
Replace the French meringue with Italian meringue for a better hold.
