Preparation

To prepare the shortcrust pastry:
Whisk the egg and sugar together until the mixture whitens slightly.
Add the flour and butter, then combine well by hand until you obtain a ball of dough.

Roll the dough out on a sheet of greaseproof paper.
Lay the dough in a tart tin and prick with a fork.

Prepare the kiwi cream:
Peel the kiwis and crush into a purée.

Combine the kiwi purée, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over a medium heat.

Add the whisked eggs, whilst stirring continuously.
Add the cornflour and stir for around fifteen minutes over a low heat, until the cream thickens.
Add a touch of green food colouring to achieve a stronger green colour.

Remove from the heat and pour the mixture into the tart base. Leave to cool.

Prepare the meringue:
Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt.
When the egg whites are beginning to stiffen, start gradually adding the sugar, continuing to whisk until the egg whites are stiff.
