Sometimes you never know where an idea for a blog post comes from! This one came from comments I'd read on other blogs about lemon meringue pie! Suddenly memories of my dear Mum and the wonderful lemon meringue pie she used to make came to mind.
These days however, with Eddie being diabetic a traditional lemon meringue pie which can have 33 grams net carbs (or more) per serving would not be good for his blood sugars. Most recipes use added sugar and wheat flour, so can be high in unnecessary carbs. Fortunately there are many low carb/keto alternatives around the internet, like the one I link to below which has just 6 grams of net carbs per slice.
But what is a lemon meringue pie? Well, it is a three layered baked dessert. There is a sweet pie crust baked and covered with lemon curd. Egg whites are whipped until stiff peaks form and placed into a mound on top of the lemon filling. Then, the entire pie is baked again until it is golden brown.
Quite delicious!

A low-carb / keto lemon meringue pie is simple to make, and it tastes like the real thing (only sugar-free and gluten-free). To make a low carb version of the sweet lemon pie, you can use almond flour or coconut flour and sweetener as a sugar replacement.
This low carb lemon meringue pie is dairy-free, nut-free, and gluten-free too. It's a delicious treat any time you are craving something a little sweet and will help keep blood sugar stable. Please see recipe details, tips and a step by step guide on this link here
I hope you may enjoy some lemon meringue pie soon 😋

Now these charming little birds have nothing to do with a lemon meringue pie recipe, but Eddie happened upon this gif and said he was sure many of our readers would enjoy it. I'm sure they would I replied... it is quite delightful.

Lemon meringue pie is one of my favorites. We get hummingbirds but none so close. Wow!
Tell Eddie I loved the hummingbirds!
I also like lemon meringue pie and I like the method to make it healthier.
Gracias por la receta. Me gusto el gif. Te mando un beso.
I will have to check this out -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
The pie looks excellent! And how cool to be able to get so close the birds.
It is a shame that most keto recipes have multiple allergens that I need to avoid.
The pie sounds good - and the hummingbirds are charming.
Rico pastel. Lindo el git del pajarito Gracias.
