Toasted Almonds with Lemon Meringue Topping
Toasted Almonds with Lemon Meringue Topping
September 1, 2015
This toasted almonds snack recipe was created to be a healthy option to one of my favorite desserts, lemon meringue pie. I work from home so I tend to have a bit of a snack problem (as in, I eat too many...). Working from home allows a whole host of distractions, snacking being just one. I made this recipe one day because I was craving lemon meringue pie. I had also just finished a bit too much pasta. Feeling a bit bloated, I decided to try my hand at a healthy lemon meringue option. These toasted almonds offer a great nutty base for the delicate lemon flavor with it's own graham cracker crust. Take these lemon meringue toasted almonds to any party for a sure wow!
