  6. Transfer the tartlets to the freezer until chilled. Before serving, use a kitchen torch to toast the meringue, moving the flame back and forth until evenly browned. Alternatively, you can place the tartlets under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes to brown the meringue.

Serve these lemon tartlets immediately for a delightful and impressive dessert experience.
