The lemon curd filling is the perfect balance of tart and sweet. It's not too overpowering, and it pairs perfectly with the meringue.

I love that this recipe uses almond flour instead of regular flour. It gives the pie a nice nutty flavor.

This pie is definitely not for diabetics. It's way too sweet.

The crust is a little crumbly, but the filling and meringue are delicious.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably try reducing the amount of sweetener next time.
