Meet my Paleo Meringue. A dairy free, gluten free and processed sugar free dessert topping that will rock your world and won’t make you feel eeky. This Paleo Meringue is all we want a good treat to be.

Here’s a little of my backstory with meringue.

Growing up in Ecuador, I was around a lot of desserts that were topped with fluffy and airy meringue. Wether they were made by my mom for one of her get togethers, or served at an event or function, or available at coffee shops while we were out having afternoon tea…meringue was present, classily topping very delicious and decadent desserts. My favorite desserts with meringue were Tres Leches and Pie de Limón (lemon pie); such classics, we the ladies loved them.

Whenever I go back to visit my family and friends in Ecuador, I always ask my mom to make Preston and I her famous Pie de Limón. As I’ve shared before, my mom kills it at the dessert game. And her Pie de Limón is no exception to her slaughtering, haha.

Since my mom and I cannot control our dessert indulgence a lot of the times, she tries to make her Pie de Limón strategically. She’ll plan her dessert making at a time when other guests will be visiting at her house. Times when it won’t be just us hanging out in the house, while knowing there is pie left in the refrigerator. This is very wise, my friends. Because otherwise, it’s pretty much my mom and I who finish the entire pie in a matter of days. That is no bueno. Too much of a good thing is not always good…especially for my mom’s and my waistline.

The meringue recipe that my mom uses to top her Pie de Limón is the fluffiest, softest, prettiest thing I ever did see; her recipe is simple, easy, but unfortunately, not all Paleo as it has white sugar. Therefore, us Paleo people can’t really have it, can we? I mean we could, but it would not do us much good.

Guess what though? Great news for you today. I have modified her meringue recipe a bit in order to make it Paleo compliant. So here it is for you; the perfect meringue: Paleo Meringue.

My Paleo Meringue recipe is simple to make and it has no processed sugars; instead, we use three simple ingredients that are healthy and Paleo approved. These are: egg whites, maple syrup, lemon juice.

Super easy. You probably have all of these ingredients at home already, so you could be making Paleo Meringue right now. Don’t you love simple kitchen creations? They are the best. This Paleo Meringue is:

• Dairy free
• Fluffy
• Soft
• Light
• Sweet
• Versatile

Also, I have an amazing Tres Leches Dessert you could make where you could use this Paleo Meringue on. Look at the beauty, isn’t she a beauty?

You should not miss out on this one. It is FA-BU-LOUS. Like magic.

I plan on re-creating my mom’s Pie de Limón in a gluten-free + dairy-free way soon, so definitely keep an eye out for it as this Paleo Meringue recipe would be great on it. I don’t promise the Pie de Limón to be 100% Paleo, as it might have gluten-free baking ingredients in it, but it will definitely be gluten-free and dairy-free. Won’t hurt your tummy.

In addition, I think you could add this Paleo Meringue on pretty much any baked good or on any waffle or pancake you’d like. Even in coffee. For reals. If it suits your fancy, you better be adding a big dollop of it on it. We all deserve to treat ourselves once in a while. Or once a day. Isn’t that right, ladies? I think so.

Hope you guys enjoy this Paleo Meringue as much as we did at home. Oh, and be generous with it’s application, just as I was on that Tres Leches Dessert picture above. Yum.
