Ingredients:

Lemon curd

3 eggs

1 egg yolk

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

6 tbsp. unsalted butter

Crust

3 graham crackers

1 tbsp. granulated sugar

1 1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter

Meringue

4 egg whites

1 cup granulated sugar

1 pinch cream of tartar

1 tbsp. vanilla extract

Step 1
Lemon curd

Combine eggs, egg yolk, lemon juice and granulated sugar in the top of a double boiler. (I don't have a double boiler, so I simply boil water in a medium pot and use a smaller metal mixing bowl over it.

Step 2

Using a whisk, constantly stir until the mixture becomes thick and a light color for about 10-12 minutes.(almost like pudding) *make sure to constantly whisk or else you will end up with scramble eggs*

Step 3

Pour the mixture through a strainer to remove all the lumps. Add the butter and whisk until all is combined.

Step 4

Cover the curd with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. (make sure to cover it or else a skin will form.)

Step 5

Crust

Using a food processor, mix cookies, butter and sugar until all combine. Spoon the crumbs into the bottom of the shot glass

Step 6

Meringue

Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Place the egg whites in a medium size metal bowl. Hold bowl over simmering water. ( I use the same bowl as my mixing bowl) Whisk your eggs until it is hot to the touch. (***very important to heat your egg whites to make sure you are killing bacteria from the eggs***)

Step 7

Then, using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed. When your eggs are staring to thicken, gradually add the sugar. Continu whisking for about 5-8 minutes add the cream of tartar and your vanilla extract beat until stiff peaks form.
