- Vanilla extract
- Lemon curd
- Graham cracker crust
- Cream cheese
Instructions
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
- Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Once the cheesecake has chilled, spread the lemon curd evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
- Carefully spoon the meringue topping over the lemon curd, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.
- Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, create peaks and swirls in the meringue for a decorative finish.
- Using a kitchen torch, lightly toast the meringue until golden brown. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the cheesecake under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Let the cheesecake cool for a bit before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious lemon cheesecake with meringue topping!
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Make sure to cool the cheesecake completely before adding the lemon curd and meringue topping.
- This cheesecake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
