For reasons relating mostly to boredom, I made an absolutely ridiculous pie last week.  What you can’t see in the picture is the layer of raspberry and blackberry compote on the bottom.  It’s covered by a layer of lime curd whipped with cream and then some pretty delicious Italian meringue, made with the help of a stand mixer.  (I’ve hand whipped a meringue once before… I never want to do it again.)

It might not be as pretty as the magazine cover, but it sure was delicious!
