Ingredients
  

For the Meringues
  • 100 g egg whites (about 3 large eggs) Ensure bowl and whisk are clean and dry.
  • 200 g powdered sugar
  • 100 g almond flour Can substitute with regular flour, but texture will vary.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds Can be omitted for a simpler meringue.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup lemon curd Can substitute with other fruit curds for variations.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 100°C (210°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold in the almond flour, vanilla extract, and poppy seeds until well combined.
  4. Use a piping bag to pipe small meringue circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake for 1.5-2 hours or until the meringues are dry and crisp. Turn off the oven and let them cool inside.
Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the lemon curd.
  2. Once the meringue shells are cool, spread the lemon cream mixture on one shell and top with another to form a sandwich.
