Nothing says spring to me like limes. I love seeing our tree come into bloom at the start of the season, with those tiny white flowers comes the hope of warmer weather.
So when I found out that the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, hosted by Claire at ClaireKCreations was Meringue Madness, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make lime-meringue pie. The only problem was that I’d shared this recipe before, so I needed a new take on it.
Meringue nest with a rich, tart lime curd with wafer biscuits shards was going to be my take on an inside out lime-meringue pie.
The chewy meringue and the tart curd with the crunch of the wafers made a delicious dessert and a fantastically decadent play lunch for my work days.
I love this unusual take on the lemon meringue pie. Do you like traditional desserts or modern takes?

I love the look of this. Lemon meringue pie is one of my most favourite desserts and I love your original take on it xx
Thanks Charlie! This was an excellent alternative!
What a great idea Claire! I like your version better because there’s much more meringue and it’s crunchy meringue not the soft fluffy stuff! Thanks for joining the hop. Now I want a lime tree!
I’m sure you could do the same with lemons Claire!
I think I have to make this.
Great photos too Clare.
Thanks Dee, that’s lovely to hear. I’m really trying to up the ante on my photography.
That looks delicious! I love lime curd and this is such a great way to use it!
It’s just a nice thing to have in the fridge I think!
I just just imagine the great textural crunch of the meringue. Great idea!
Yep the crunch of the meringue, the soft sticky lime curd and the mellow waffer biscuits. Delicious!
I almost made this one day – or something similar and changed my mind at the last minute thinking I was being silly. I would have been a hero. 🙂
This sounds so good!
You would have been a HERO!
Oh Lemon Meringue Pie… Just never gets tiring 🙂 Looks awesome!
It looks wonderful and I know I’ll never tire of it!
Wow! Simply wow!!! This recipe is a keeper! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Marian, it was pretty delicious. I love all things lemon meringue!
hahaha I adore that you turned a pie inside out! As someone who eats all the topping and filling, leaving the crust behind this is simply perfect ;D
Thanks JJ. I think it was delicious!
