And the lemon meringue pies:
The coconut ice is easy to make and brings back memories of childhood. Think of it as a two-toned slab of sugary condensed-milky coconut. Tastes as good as it sounds.
Then chop into convenient bite-sized pieces.
For the mini lemon meringue pies, I cheated on the tart cases and used bought ones. There's only so much cooking one can do, one must save energy for partying as well.
I made the lemon curd using variations on various recipes (I used Dr. Google and then made it up). A cheap piping bag became invaluable for getting it easily into the tart cases.
Then the meringue on top - with assistance from my Sous Chef.
I used the oven on the fan-forced-grill setting, and put the tarts about halfway down, to try and strike a balance between enough heat to cook the meringue overall, with the right level of heat from above to crisp up the top. That as the theory anyway. It seemed to work!
Now for the taste test.
...and the critics approved.
And voila - party food!
There may have also been an afro wig and a pair of flares involved, but no-one's got photos, so you can't prove anything.
