Handy Tips

Serve hot or cold.

The filling and shell can be prepared ahead but always whip egg whites just before use.

Try using Barker’s Squeezed NZ Limes with Elderflower as a delicate alternative.

If you wish to use crushed biscuits as a pastry alternative: mix 1 packet superwine biscuits with 75g melted butter, press in to tin and refrigerate. Bake for 8 minutes.
