This recipe is great for a summer party or any birthday party. 

I referenced my recipes for lemon meringue pie and my easy, GF pie crust to make this lemon tart.

Pipe small meringue puffs on top of the lemon curd. Take the butane torch and carefully brush over each puff until golden. 

Place edible flowers by each meringue puff.

Enjoy!
