LEMON MERINGUE (WITH WINE) TORTE

You will need:  

A meringue shell filled with lemon pudding and whipped cream.

 Ingredients:

3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup of medium white wine
1/4 cup water
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 teaspoons of grated lemon peel
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup chilled whipping cream


Directions:


Heat the oven to 375 F. cover a baking sheet with heavy brown paper or parchment paper. Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in small bowl until frothy. Beat in 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until stiff and shiny (do not over beat this) 
On brown or parchment paper, shape meringue into a 9-inch circle, building up the sides. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Turn oven off and leave meringue in oven with the door closed for approx. one hour, then remove meringue from oven and finish cooling (away from drafts.)

Mix 3/4-cup sugar, cornstarch and salt in a 2-quart saucepan, stir in the wine and water gradually. Heat over a medium heat, stirring it constantly until the mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir for one minute. Remove from heat and stir at least half of the hot mixture into the egg yolks gradually, and then stir back into hot mixture in the pan.

Let it boil and stir again for one minute. Remove mixture from heat and stir in the butter, lemon peel and lemon juice.

Let it cool to room temperature then spoon into meringue shell. Refrigerate it for at least 12 hours.

In a small chilled bowl beat the cream until it becomes stiff and spread it over filling.

(Approx. 8 to 10 servings)
