Bring back to the boil, whisking until just bubbling. Remove from the heat. Allow to cool a little, then pour into the pastry case. Spread the mixture out evenly.For the meringue, whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until they form stiff peaks. Whisk in the caster sugar, a teaspoon at a time, at high speed between each addition.
