A good dessert with lemons? Um... there are many, all delicious, but you have to try this: the Thermomix lemon meringue pie!
All thanks to these citrus fruits, lemons, which never stop giving me many joys in the kitchen, from sweet to savory :-)
The lemon meringue pie is a particular dessert, you must try! The perfume is particular, the textures are particular… the meringue is beautiful and good.
Once, just out of the oven, my children absolutely wanted to taste it!
In fact, the youngest was not ready for the intense lemon flavor, but there are those who liked it and so, when I prepare it, generally for guests, I always leave a piece of it aside for her too.
