I have a love for all things lemon, and have thought about making this dessert ever since I developed a cream puff recipe for my gluten free croquembouche (instructions coming soon). This flavour combination tastes like a lemon meringue pie. It has the classic cream puff exterior with a craquelin to give a crunch, filled with a silky lemon cream and topped with toasted meringue. This modern take on two classic desserts will surely impress your guests.
This recipe came together when I had a craving for something delicious, a couple lemons to use up and pure love for anything lemon meringue related. The fresh lemon, with the sweet meringue and the crunch of the biscotti…. Heaven! Typically I love dunking biscotti into coffee, but with the lemon flavour, these are best dunked in earl grey tea!
