Lemon meringue pie bars are the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, with a buttery shortbread crust and a fluffy meringue topping. They offer all the deliciousness of a traditional lemon meringue pie but are much easier and quicker to make in bar form. Plus, they are perfect for picnics, potlucks, or just treating yourself after a long work week. These bars remind me of the warm Midwest summers when my grandma used to make lemon meringue pie for family gatherings.
Lemon meringue pie bars are quite versatile and can be paired with a variety of sides. They are delightful on their own with a cup of coffee or tea. If you’re planning a brunch spread, consider serving them alongside a fresh fruit salad and some vegetable quiche. For a more decadent option, try them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
