My friend Lorna sent me this recipe and it is fabulous.
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 5 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind (approximately 4 lemons)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 4 Tablespoons arrow root
- 5 egg yolks
Meringue
- 5 egg whites
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
Preheat the oven to 325
Place lemon juice, lemon rind and maple syrup in a medium size pan over low heat.
In a small bowl, combine coconut milk and arrow root powder. Add to lemon juice mixture, stirring consistently until simmering.
Beat egg yolks together in a small bowl then add to simmering lemon mixture, stir constantly for 3-4 minutes, or until mixture
has thickened. Pour into a pie dish.
To make the meringue, beat the egg whites and maple syrup in a medium size mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Spoon the meringue on top of the lemon filling then place into oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Cool before serving.
