Critical Success Points

  • Achieve a homogeneous biscuit base dough without over‑mixing.
  • Bake the cheesecake at 160°C for exactly 1 hour.
  • Let the lemon curd cool to 38‑39°C before adding the butter.
  • Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and incorporate the sugar correctly.
  • Brown the meringue with the torch without burning it.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven (160°C) with kitchen gloves.
  • The lemon curd is very hot during cooking; avoid burns.
