Steemit Culinary Challenge #14 : Sweet Lemon Verrine with French Meringue

Hi Steemian!! Here is my entry for the Steemit Culinary Challenge 14.
Theme : Divine Lemoned Dessert

Let's start now.



What you need :

  • 3 Eggs (only egg yolks)
  • Sugar 150g
  • Butter 150g
  • A gelatin sheet
  • 2 Lemons
  • Vanilla ice cream

For the meringue :

  • Icing sugar 30g
  • 3 White eggs


The recipe :

  • Put the gelatin sheet in a bowl of cold water

  • Prepare some zest of lemon

  • Cut the lemons in two but not in the middle, make one half bigger than the other
  • Press the lemons to extract the juice and set aside

  • Empty them completely then cut the bottom
  • Like this they don't fall
  • Put them in the freezer

  • Cut the butter into pieces, set aside

  • In 2 bowls separate white and yellow of the eggs, put whites in the fridge for the meringue

  • Add sugar and mix until it became white

  • Put the mix in a pan then add the lemon juice, the drained gelatin and zest of lemon

  • Cook at low heat and add butter piece by piece, slowly

  • When all is melted remove from the heat, let cool then put in the fridge

  • To make the french meringue, beat the white of eggs in snow then add the icing sugar gradually put in the fridge

  • I use muesli of a known brand (something with a "K") to make the bottom of the verrine

  • When the lemon mix is cold fill half the glasses

  • As you can see I added a little chocolate in the bottom of the large glasses

  • Take off the empty lemons from the freezer and fill them with vanilla ice cream and put the "hat" on it

  • In a freezer bag add the meringue and cut the corner of the bag this will serve as a socket pocket

  • With this system fill the rest of the glasses
  • With my cooking torch I lightly burn the meringue (sorry I can't take pictures when I do that!!)

  • It's time to set the plate ;)
  • With a knife I cut a long zest of green lemon

  • Put it on the meringue

Bon appétit!
