Lemon Meringue Surprise

Serves 4-8

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!!

Before you start, pre-heat the oven to
200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6

ingredients:

  • 1 JUVELA Gluten-free Pizza Base
  • 4tbsp lemon curd*
  • 2 egg whites
  • 50g (2oz) caster sugar

Method:

Place the Pizza Base on a baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread lemon curd around centre of pizza base, leaving about 2 inches around the sides.

In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites with the sugar until soft peaks are formed.

Spoon meringue over lemon curd to cover the whole base. Return to the oven for 12-15 minutes until meringue is golden.
