Lemon meringue on Coffee
- 1 lemon or lemon zest
- 2 egg white only
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup coffee, with milk to taste
- 20 sponge fingers
- make the meringue topping first.
- Whisk the egg white until soft peaks form (completely wuite but not hard)
- Fold the sugar into the egg white, and whisk untill stiff peaks form (completely white, doesn?t flow out of bowl)
- Squeeze a wedge of lemon, or grate lemon zest into the white.
- Fold to mix, and set aside.
- Line a baking tray, and prepare to put together everything.
- Dip the sponge fingers, one at a time, quickly into the coffee.
- do not soak them through.
- Place them on the baking tray.
- Take the topping, and use a teaspoon to cover the top of each sponge finger.
- do NOT flatten the topping with the spoon.
- Bake the fingers until topping starts to turn slightly brown and crispy.
- I used a toaster oven so it was 5mins on a timer, but you have to be careful not to burn the topping.
- Serve immediately, as once cooled the topping may collapse.
- Great for anything from a buffet dessert, to a small party.
