FAQ’s

How do you store lemon meringue tarts?

It’s best to keep your delicious lemon meringue tarts in the fridge so they stay fresh (that’s if there’s any left!). Make sure to avoid crushing the delicate meringue with plastic wrap or foil – use a cake dome for best results. Then, when you want a delicious dessert they’ll be just as pretty as the day you baked them!

How do you keep lemon meringue pie from getting watery?

To stop your lemon meringue pie from getting watery, make sure to use caster sugar, as this will melt more easily and stop the sugar from weeping. You also don’t want to overbeat your eggs, as this can cause them to form water beads. 

How long can you keep lemon meringue tart?

You can keep lemon meringue tart for as long as you can resist eating it, but generally it’ll last about three days. If you want it to stay fresh, make sure you cover it in an airtight container and pop it into the fridge when it’s cooled.
