Lemon Meringue Surprise

Serves 4-8

Description

Dare to be different with this innovative - and lower fat - alternative to lemon meringue pie, consisting quite simply of a JUVELA Gluten-Free Pizza Base, generously topped with tangy lemon curd and light fluffy meringue.

Pastry is high in fat, so the Juvela Gluten-Free Pizza Bases are an ideal healthier alternative to a pastry casing for this classic pud. Give it a go - it really couldn't be simpler!!
