There are absolutely amazing. I will always make my meringue like this. My family and friends love it and has requested that it be made into a pie. I am not sure there is enough filling for a pie…any ideas?
I am going to try putting it in a regular pie crust in a pie pan and see what happens.

In reply to mg. You can substitute a regular lemon, but note that Meyer lemons have less of a sour flavor (they are less acidic) and so this can affect the final outcome - it will be more tart.

Absolutely love this recipe. Had never made the topping with the egg whites before… almost like a marshmallow. Delicious! How do you measure the size/quantity of lemons? I got mine from a local farm in HI and I think they contained to much liquid. My filling went everywhere! Thanks judy

Oh I don’t need to see these. I just DON’T need to see these. Guess what I’m doing with my lemons tonight! LOL. I can say I’m going to LOVE these even before making, and I don’t normally post unless I’ve made something. Looks like a real winner.

Hi Sarah, question…could I sub in an orange for the Meyer lemon? They are hard to find where I live. These bars look so tempting!!

In reply to Angela. You can make the bars a day ahead and the meringue the day of, just make sure to chill them. The crust may get a little soft the longer they sit, but they will still taste good.
