A lovely combination of sweet and tart, perfect to finish a rich meal with a sweet touch that doesn’t overwhelm. This pie has three distinct textures: a crisp bottom shortcrust type pastry, a creamy lemon curd filling and a slightly toasted fluffy Swiss meringue topping.
This was a big family favourite when I was growing up, I remember more than one quarrel starting over who got the biggest slice. Hope you’re better at sharing than we were!

Pie measures 10” approximately and serves around 12 people.
