Lemon meringue pie is my favourite pudding Ever!
Here is a recipe for grain free Lemon meringue pies.
Recipe
makes 6 small ramekin size pies
base
100g pecans
100g Almonds
4 dates
2 tsp honey
middle layer
Lemon curd – gluten free
homemade or shop bought
Topping
4 egg whites
75g sugar
Method
put pecans and almonds in food processor, grind to a coarse crumble
add dates and honey and process again.
press firmly into the 6 ramekins
Add a good layer lemon curd to each lemon pie
Make meringue
whisk egg whites to form firm peaks
gradually then add sugar gradually
whisk again
top the pies with the meringue
I baked in a pre heated oven at 140c for 20 mins then left them in the oven until required
This was the very first time I had made meringues and would like to improve on the results, any advice would be appreciated!
These were a huge success with the family and will most definitely make them again, next time I will make my own lemon curd and cut the sugar content. Watch this space!
Enjoy!
