Get ahead! Make the base and filling and leave to chill, then whip the meringue and finish just before serving so you can spend your time with your guests not in the kitchen!

This is a lighter version of a classic Lemon Meringue* with at least 30% less fat!’ We love the zingy sharp lemon flavour against the sweet meringue, an easy recipe for impressing family and friends.

Delicious and easy.  You can make the lemon part the day before and then do the meringue topping the next morning.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious! I’ve made lemon meringue pie with Nestle’s condensed milk forever and my mum did before me! It’s absolutely delicious - beautifully lemony but the milk stops any bitterness. I love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect and so easy I’ve made this pie over and over agin in the past 2 weeks! It’s so easy and tastes delicious! My family can’t get enough of it. I used to make mine the old fashioned way and it took forever so much effort for the pie to be gone in no time. I found this better to be made the day before if you can wait that long.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mouth wateringly good A favourite of our grown up son’s. Always made it the traditional way but this was so easy, tarty but sweet. Now one of my favourite bakes.
