Lemon meringue pie

Lemon meringue pie

The addition of Kiri® Professional Bloc to the lemon cream filling not only adds a slightly salty taste to complement the acidity of the lemon. It also makes the meringue fluffier, as was created by the French 2 Michelin starred chef Jean-François Piège.

CHEF’S TIP

Kiri® Professional makes the topping fluffier and adds a slightly salty taste that is the perfect complement to the acidity of the lemon.
