The following was something I did on the 16th:

There was a recipe for mini lemon meringue tarts in the Paralyser a few weeks ago. I failed at making the meringue bit (apparently, egg whites won't whip using a stab mixer...), but the tarts were damn tasty without. Very very very tasty. Screw the meringues, I'm now going to play with the recipe for the tarts.( Original recipe )

Tonight's experimentation proves the following:

Firstly, when using this recipe for making pies rather than tartlets, the amounts given are perfect for two pie casings and one filling.
Secondly, one may substitute 150mL lactose-free cream for the caster sugar and lemon juice in the filling, and 250g dark chocolate, melted, for the butter, and the filling tastes damn good.
Thirdly, Bastard gets a  little snippy when told he can't have any because I'm taking them to work in the morning. He'll get over it.
Fourthly, I really really cannot be bothered making the meringue bits. Buggrit. I don't like it enough to put that much effort in.
