Mini Lemon Meringue Pies

"These are just perfect for a light dinner party dessert! And totally simple. You could also fill with lemon curd, or Top N Fill for a caramel twist. I think this is from the Sydney Morning Herald?"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 220°C.
  • Cut a dozen 10cm circles from pastry and line a 12-hole non-stick muffin tin. Prick the bases and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden, then cool.
  • Whisk yolks, condensed milk, zest and juice in a bowl and set aside to thicken.
  • In another bowl, beat whites to form soft peaks.
  • Gradually add sugar, still beating, until you have a thick and glossy "meringue".
  • Spoon the lemon filling into the pastry cases and top each with meringue, creating little peaks by drawing the spoon up.
  • Bake for 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool before serving.

  1. These were a hit! I personally would have preferred them with lemon curd, as the condensed milk made them very sweet. But apparently no one else shared my opinion as the went within 5 minutes of exiting the oven. They didn't even get a chance to cool down!
     
  2. the perfect and easy pie

  5. Awesome recipe! These are fantastic! So easy to make and the taste is absolutely wonderful. I made mine in a tart tin and made 30 and follower the recipe exactly. The family loved them and these are going to be made again and again for sure. Thanks Chickee these are truly scrumptious!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm 28, married, and with two furkids-a cute cat, she's an Australian Mist called Kismet, and a chocolate labrador called Indiana Jones. Live in North West Sydney, and have all my life except for a short stint in Germany just after we were married. I am an engineer by degree, but have recently left a large telecommunications company to work in a small Veterinary hospital as a vet nurse. I like camping and 4wding, fishing and horseriding, having parties and barbeques. We're ex-Scouts and still love to travel even if it's just a short break to the mountains, or to the wine regions. I love baking and experimenting with different cuisines. I wont cook things with too many ingredients, or that are too fiddly, or which take too long (or too expensive for that matter!). I'm a dab hand at modifying the 67c home brand packet cake. My husband is Swiss-Australian, so I have a bit of that European influence as well, and try to reproduce our favourite Swiss recipes as accurately as possible. I am hopefully trying for my Swiss citizenship once I've studied up for my interview! We love travelling, and after visiting Vietnam in 2008 I'm obsessed with both the country and the cuisine, it's so varied and fresh and amazing!
