Ingredients
- 100g raspberries, plus extra to serve
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1½ tbsp icing sugar
- finely grated zest of ½ lime
- 100g crème fraîche
- 2 x 75g pack Bonne Maman Tarte au Citron
For the meringue kiss topping
- 1 medium egg white
- 50g caster sugar
Step by step
- To make a coulis, put the raspberries, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon icing sugar in a small food processor (or use a bowl and stick blender) and blitz until smooth. Pass through a sieve for an extra-smooth texture. Cover and chill until needed.
- Stir the lime zest and remaining icing sugar through the crème fraîche.
- For the meringue kiss topping, preheat the oven to 230°C, fan 210°C, gas 8. Whisk the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl until you have stiff peaks. Gradually whisk in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, to make a firm, glossy meringue. Spoon the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a 7mm round nozzle.
- Carefully remove the tartes from their glass ramekins and place them onto a baking sheet. Pipe the meringue in little peaks on top of each tart until the filling is completely covered. Bake for 1-3 minutes until the meringue is just turning golden.
- Put the tarts onto dessert plates. Spoon or pipe a little raspberry coulis onto each plate – shaped as a heart, if you like. Serve with the extra raspberries, a spoonful of the zesty crème fraîche and any leftover coulis on the side for drizzling.
