Put yogurt in a strainer lined with a coffee filter. Place over a bowl,

minutes.

the sugar. Transfer to a small saucepan and add lemon juice, egg and egg
yolk. Whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly,
until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Strain

mixture begins to thicken and set but has not fully gelled.
To make a safe meringue, combine the egg whites, water, cream of tartar and
1/4 cup of the sugar in the top of a double boiler. Cook over simmering
water, whisking constantly, until mixture reaches 160ยก. Immediately pour
into the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on high speed, gradually adding
remaining sugar, until whites are cook, thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.

fold this mixture into whites. Transfer to 6 individual serving goblets
