The cutest and most tasty lemon treats around! These mini mason jar meringues are oozing with fresh lemon and topped with fluffy meringue. Eating one is not enough!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cups (125 mL) graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tsp (15 mL) butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) E.D.SMITH® Lemon Spread
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) granulated sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the crumbs with the butter until well coated. Divide evenly between four 4 oz (125 mL) mason jars; press into an even layer. Spoon the Lemon Spread over the crust; set aside.
- Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar on high speed until frothy. Slowly add the sugar a spoonful at a time. Beat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until the whites hold a stiff peak. Spoon over the Lemon Spread.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Cool completely. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
