This Mini Lemon Meringue Bites recipe makes plenty of delicious bites of mini meringue pies, with tasty lemon curd!

I love all things lemon. The freshness of the scent, the beautiful bright color, the resemblance to the warmth of the sun, and for the palate: lemon-flavored desserts!

I really love lemon meringue pie – that tart/sweet filling, the perfect complement of lightly sweet meringue – yet I seldom make it.

So I was thrilled to make these little lemon tasty treats, and I thought they’d be perfect for Game Day coming up this Sunday (otherwise known as Super Bowl Sunday).

There are only a few ingredients, very easy to make, and a great way to get your kids in the kitchen.

Give them the task of pressing the cookie dough into the mini muffin pans and then scooping the meringue on top!

My favorite lemon curd is from Trader Joe’s, but did you know it’s actually very easy to make?

With this recipe today you’ll notice that each creamy bite is packed with serious lemon flavor.


Oh, and don’t forget to broil on “LOW.” I actually broiled my first batch on “HI” and they got a little toasty!

Enjoy!

What sweet treats will you be making for Super Bowl Sunday?

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Coat a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • Place 2 tsp. of chilled cookie dough in each cup, and either press the sides up or use a mini tart tool, forming a cup.
