Greetings, dear readers! Today, I’m excited to share a delightful twist on a classic: Lemon Meringue Pie Bites. Perfect for when you crave that zesty sweetness but don’t want to commit to an entire pie. The Lemon Meringue Pie, a dessert that dates back to the 19th century, has roots in both American and British cuisine, enchanting palates with its tangy citrus flavor balanced by a sweet, toasted meringue topping. These bites are ideal for parties or intimate gatherings, offering a burst of flavor without the need for flatware—just a napkin and your love for a tasty treat.
These Lemon Meringue Pie Bites are a standalone marvel, but they can be complemented beautifully by a crisp, dry sparkling wine or an ice-cold glass of sweet tea. If you’re looking to add them to a dessert spread, pair them with mini chocolate tarts and fruit kebabs to offer a variety of flavors and textures.

– 1 package (14 oz) pre-made pie crust, brought to room temperature
