Questions about Retail lemon meringue pie
Should retail lemon meringue pie be kept in the fridge?
Follow the pack’s storage instructions; if it is sold chilled, keep it refrigerated and return leftovers to the fridge promptly. Once opened, cover the cut surface so the meringue does not dry out or pick up other smells.
Can you freeze lemon meringue pie?
You can, but the meringue may weep or turn less fluffy when thawed. Freeze it well wrapped, then thaw it in the fridge rather than at room temperature.
How do you cut lemon meringue pie without squashing the topping?
Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts. Cut straight down through the meringue, then saw gently through the pastry base.
What goes well with lemon meringue pie?
Serve it with unsweetened tea or coffee to balance the sweet topping, or add fresh berries for a tart contrast. It is usually rich enough to serve without cream.
What is the difference between lemon meringue pie and lemon tart?
Lemon meringue pie has a cooked lemon filling topped with meringue, while lemon tart usually has a smooth lemon custard filling and no meringue. The tart’s pastry and filling also give it a different texture.
How much energy is in a serving of retail lemon meringue pie?
A 100 g piece provides 251 kcal. A slice’s weight can differ considerably, so weighing it is the clearest way to work out its energy.
Does retail lemon meringue pie contain common allergens?
