Key Lime Marshmallow Meringue Tarts image

After spending time last winter in Key West, my husband and I became obsessed with Key lime pie. This is my downsized version of one we tried while spending time in that area. Marshmallow creme is the extra special touch. -Barbara Hahn, Park Hills, Missouri

These tarts are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would probably use less sugar in the meringue next time.

I tested this recipe several times, and it always turned out perfectly. The key is to make sure that the meringue is stiff enough before you pipe it onto the tarts.

These tarts are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. They're not too sweet, and the key lime filling helps to cut through the richness of the meringue.
