Lemon Meringue Pie recipe by Cafe Gratitude

JoyceHJoyceH Raw Newbie

Hi Folks,

I haven't posted here much lately with the upgrade but still check in while at work.

Has anyone made the Lemon Meringue Pie in Cafe Gratidude's book? I just got some Irish moss and would like to see if I can successfully use it in this recipe.

I'd love to hear about how this Lemon meringue pie turned out for anyone. Was it like a traditional one? How did the Irish moss work out?

I recently made Cafe Gratitude's Coconut cream pie and it was heavenly (I'd add more dates and maybe some macs to the crust as it was crumbly but the filling was just divine)

    I recently found that High Vibe in NYC has raw irish moss.

    Haven't tried it in a recipe yet. Maybe I'll make the lemon pie for tomorrow.

    Would love to hear about any Irish Moss success stories in other recipes as well ;-)

    Isn't the cafe gratitude cookbook awesome? Make their spinach tortillas, they rock! i made the german chocolate cake from there, it was beyond words. it makes a HUGE amount of cake though, be ready : )

    i haven't made anything with irish moss. lecithin is a good thickener, i've used that.

    Winona - thanks for the tip on the spinach tortillas and german choc cake. I thought the amounts of ingredients for the german choc cake looked huge (like 9 cups of almond flour or something like that!) I recently made their Pad Thai and it was super yummy. A definite recipe for an upcoming dinner party that will have a Thai food theme :-)

    Yeah CG's book rocks! They have a new dessert book out but I haven't gotten it yet. Yes, I like using lecithin and it seems to work well

  • i've read on the internet you might be able to find irish moss at asian grocery markets.

    good luck!

  • where can you find irish moss?

    You can get it at Cafe Gratitude's store. I got mine from them. Takes a little over a week to ship from the west coast to the east coast (US).

    Anyone try the Lemon Meringue pie???? Surely there must be a few adventurous un cooks who've used Irish moss ;-)

  • I'm trying it today!! I'll let you know how it works out!
