Step 1
Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan.
Step 2
Whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold in lemon curd until fully combined and no streaks remain.
Step 3
Pour lemon-cream filling into crust. Chill while you make the meringue, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add egg whites and sugar to a heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisking constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture reaches 160°F, about 6 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 4 minutes.
Step 6
Spread or pipe meringue thickly over filling. Use a kitchen torch to toast peaks golden brown until they blister.
Step 7
Serve immediately or chill up to 2 hours before torching.
