  3. Take off the stove and add the butter and whisk until combined.
  4. Pour into the tart shell and allow to cool completely in the fridge.
Topping:
  1. In a clean bowl with a clean whisk, whisk the egg whites until frothy.
  2. Add the Natvia slowly as you continue to whisk the eggs until they form a medium to stiff peak.
  3. Fold in the vanilla extract.
  4. Top the cooled lemon tart by either piping or spooning on.
  5. You can either brown the top by using a brûlée torch or by placing in a preheated 200°C oven for 5 minutes until there is slight browning.
  6. Refrigerate until needed and serve with your favorite fruits.
