How to Make Strawberry Lemon Meringue Tartlets

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large, clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar at medium speed until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating at high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is almost completely dissolved. (This takes about 5-7 minutes)
  5. Transfer meringue to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  6. Pipe 6 meringue rounds (about 3 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a spiral base and a decorative rosette border around each.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes.
  8. For softer meringues: Remove from oven immediately and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. For crisp meringues: Turn off the oven and leave meringues in the oven with the door closed for 2 hours or overnight.
  10. Carefully remove meringues from parchment paper.
  11. Place meringues on serving plates.
  12. Just before serving, spoon 1-2 tablespoons of lemon yogurt into the center of each meringue.
  13. Top with fresh strawberries (about 1 cup sliced strawberries per tartlet).
  14. Store leftover tartlets in the refrigerator.
