Zesty Lemon Meringue Roulade Recipe: Tangy & Fluffy Delight
Ingredients:
- 1 fresh, zesty Lemon (just the zest, we’re keeping it zingy!)
- 5 large Egg whites (preferably free-range to make your meringue extra cluckin’ good)
- 2 tbsp Lemon curd (for that extra citrusy punch)
- 275 g Caster sugar (to sweeten the deal)
- A sprinkle of Icing sugar (for the final touch of snowy perfection)
- 50 g Flaked Almonds (for a nutty crunch)
- 400 ml Double or whipping cream (to keep things creamy)

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (or 350°F), and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Get ready to roll!
- Zest up your life by grating the zest of that lemon. Keep it vibrant and tangy!
- Let’s whip up those egg whites! Grab a clean, dry bowl and whisk those whites into stiff peaks. It’s a workout for your whisk arm, but totally worth it.
- Sprinkle in the caster sugar gradually while whisking continuously. You want that meringue to be glossy and dreamy.
- Fold in the zesty lemon zest gently. We’re keeping it light and airy, just like a cloud on a sunny day.
- Spread this fluffy meringue goodness onto the prepared baking tray, forming a rectangle. Pop it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until it’s lightly golden.
- While that’s baking, get your almonds into a pan and toast them lightly. Keep an eye on these little guys; they like to get golden brown quickly.
- Once your meringue is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a bit. Then, carefully flip it onto a clean tea towel dusted with icing sugar.
- Peel off the parchment paper gently. Now, spread that luscious lemon curd all over the meringue. Go on, be generous!
- Whip up your double cream until it’s nice and thick. Spread it evenly over the lemony curd layer.
- Sprinkle those lightly toasted almonds all over the creamy goodness. It’s like the cherry on top, but nuttier!
- Time to roll! Use the tea towel to help you roll the meringue from one short end to the other, creating a beautiful spiral.
- Carefully transfer your roulade onto a serving platter. Dust it with a bit more icing sugar for that final magical touch.
- Voila! Your tangy, zesty Lemon Meringue Roulade is ready to steal the show. Slice, serve, and enjoy the citrusy, fluffy goodness!

Remember, the zestier, the better! And if your roulade cracks a bit while rolling, don’t worry—it just adds character. Enjoy every lemony bite!
