Lemon Meringue Pie Bites

March 29, 2018 by Abby

Lemon Meringue Pie Bites are wonderfully light, refreshingly tart, and absolutely satisfying. Don’t let the fanciness fool you- these little bites of perfection are surprisingly easy to make.

Most weeks I incorporate taking recipe photos into everyday life. After all, nearly every recipe I make is meant to be enjoyed by my family. It isn’t uncommon for me to make dinner and then take photos before serving the food.

Lately, though, life has been a little crazier, and making time for photos has been tough, especially with the sun setting so early. So a few Saturdays ago I had a marathon recipe session. I made Jalapeño Popper Twice-Baked Potatoes, Lighter Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese, Crispy Baked Potato Wedges and, of course, these adorable little Lemon Meringue Pie Bites.

I knew I’d be making these as soon as I realized I had leftover lemon curd from making Baked Lemon Hand Pies, as well as leftover egg whites from making the Homemade Lemon Curd. There wasn’t quite enough curd left to make a full pie, plus these meringue nests are just too darn cute to resist.

I’m not prepared to admit how many of these guys I ate. It was a few, okay? They’re so light and airy! I got too excited and filled all the meringues, meaning they needed to be eaten that day. Looking back, I should have left some of them empty, stored them in the fridge, and then filled them to be eaten on Sunday.

Oh, well. Looks like I’ll just have to make them again!

mud hen bars

This rich dessert begins with a layer of cookie dough, followed by a sprinkling of chocolate chips and marshmallows, topped with chewy brown sugar meringue.

I first made these bars several years ago. I’d stocked up on mini marshmallows while they were on sale because, at the time, my Pinterest feed seemed to be full of recipes that included them. To be honest, I don’t remember what other recipes I made with those marshmallows; I only remember this one.

As far as layered bars go, this recipe is deceptively easy. I’ve seen a lot of desserts that look incredible, but many of them seem to require you to prepare three separate recipes, like brownies and cookie dough and homemade caramel. I bet those treats taste amazing, but they look time-consuming and expensive.
