Mini Meringue Pies

Rantings of a Basketcase, November 2012


It was rhubarb and strawberry season, and we had been invited to a dinner party when I decided to create these. I wanted something that was finger-food friendly, could be eaten cold, and would use some cooked rhubarb I had in the fridge.
I was well pleased with the outcome, although they were better when fresh than cold, simply because the meringue weeped a little as it cooled.
Suitable for probably nearly any kind of fruit I reckon. Inspired by my Mums lemon meringue pie.

The Good: Quick, easy, tasty. No need to make your own pastry, the hardest part of this is deciding what fruit to use

The Bad: The pastry cases were a little chewy. I would definitely shell out for better quality ones next time.

Overall Result: 8.5/10
