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?

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!

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
