step 3ingredients 6 large Egg Yolks (reserve egg whites for the meringue; beaten)
2 teaspoons Orange zest
1 stick Butter
1/2 teaspoon Saltinstructions Temper the hot mixture into the egg yolks by adding a third of the warm mixture whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the small saucepan.

step 5ingredients 1 cup Superfine Sugar
1/3 cup Water
1 tablespoon Lime Juiceinstructions For the Meringue: In a small pot over low heat, combine sugar, water and lime juice. Place a lid on the pot to allow the condensation to naturally wash down the inside wall of the pot. This will help prevent sugar crystals from forming around the sides, falling in and causing a chain reaction. Swirl the pot over the burner to dissolve the sugar completely. Do not stir. -
step 6ingredientsinstructions Increase the heat and boil to soft-ball stage (235 to 240 degrees). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy. Prepare your meringue.
-
step 7ingredients 5 Egg Whites (room temperature)
1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
2 teaspoons Lime (zest)instructions In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the eggs whites on low speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar, increase the speed to medium, and beat until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, pour the hot sugar syrup in a thin stream over fluffed egg whites. Beat until the egg whites are stiff and glossy. Stir in lime zest. Put the meringue in a piping bag or zip top bag. -
step 8ingredients 1 cup Pomegranate Seedsinstructions Use stemless wine glasses. Place 2 tablespoons of the crumbled crust in the bottom of the glasses. Pipe in a layer of the cooled filling. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of pomegranates on top, then top with a swirl of piped meringue. Continue to layer in the glass, finishing with a layer of meringue. Garnish with more pomegranate seeds or crumbled graham crackers.
