We love pies. And we’ll take any opportunity to eat them! This week marks National Lemon Meringue Pie Day. While it’s a silly holiday, we always say we’re willing to celebrate the opening of a mailbox. Anything is worth a celebration if it adds variety to your day and an extra spark of joy!
We have always said how much we enjoy layered desserts because of the pleasure we get from different textures and flavors. Over the years, we have shared many recipes for lemon meringue on our blog! Today we’re sharing some low-carb meringue pie recipes outside of the lemon variety to shake things up. It’s good to try new things!
Strawberry and rhubarb is one of our favorite flavor combinations of the summer. You rarely see it outside of pies. So having it in a bar dessert is a pleasure. We love that this recipe yields extra meringue so you can make meringue cookies as well as the pie. That’s two desserts for the (baking) price of one! A serving has 186 calories, three net grams of carbs and 18 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We’re not sure why this pie is called a cake. It’s a blueberry meringue pie. It’s a classic low-carb pie crust filled with a low-carb blueberry filling and topped with a low-carb meringue. It’s classic and straightforward. If you love meringue and blueberries, this will be a hit with you! A serving has 204 calories, 4.6 grams of carbs and 16.6 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
This isn’t really a meringue; it’s a whipped cream topping. But we’re adding it to our list as it’s a three-layer pie and well worth making. Plus, it has the same vibe as a meringue pie, as the filling is a thickened custard. As cornstarch doesn’t fit a low-carb diet, this version uses xanthan gum. We think a coconut cream pie is perfect in summer as it has a tropical flavor that is great when you are seeking a mental getaway! A serving has 365 calories, 6.4 grams of carbs, 2.2 grams of fiber and 35 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We love that this recipe combines a chocolate cream pie with a meringue pie. Make sure that the chocolate pie filling is well chilled before putting it in the oven to bake the meringue. While the egg whites need to cook, the pie filling doesn’t. This makes a smooth, creamy, luscious pie that will thrill chocolate lovers. A serving has 210 calories, 11 grams of carbs, eight grams of fiber and 17 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We hope you love these recipes as much as we do this summer!
