These delicate little bites go well with coffee, tea or are perfect for gifting at any time of the year. I love the little hint of lemon!
Originally created for one of the Merry Christmix projects, these little bites are delicately lemony with just a hint of lemon from the doterra Lemon oil. If you are not switched onto doterra yet, it is time to join us!
I love the chewiness of the meringue, that is really a feature of making meringue in the Thermomix. I am pretty sure if you were to gift these to say, teachers, there would be no complaints...and the kids may even get ‘A’s’!!
