Critical Success Points

  • Do not over‑work the shortcrust dough (prevents a tough texture).
  • Bake the base until golden to avoid sogginess.
  • Cook the lemon‑lime cream without excessive boiling (prevents curdling).
  • Reach exactly 118°C when preparing the syrup for the Italian meringue.
  • Caramelize the meringue without burning it.

Safety Warnings

  • The 118°C syrup can cause severe burns – handle with care.
  • Wear kitchen gloves when using the broiler or torch.
  • Do not leave the torch unattended.
