Lemon Meringue Gourmet Popcorn Recipe – if you like Lemon Meringue Pie and Popcorn, you´re going to LOVE this recipe… Seriously, Lemon Meringue Pie has never been so easy!
So recently I shared my Lemon Curd Recipe I make in the Mircrowave on Facebook live video. Yes live! To be honest it´s quite scary to do the live version because you can´t edit out any parts therefore any mistake you make is there for everyone to see. BUT I tell myself that we are all human, nobody is perfect (I tell myself this about 100 times before starting the video each time) and everybody wants to see what´s REAL. So bear with – please – I promise to get better at it! Here´s a short Video I made of this Lemon Meringue Popcorn recipe! Click in the image below to watch it!
The great thing about live video, is that I can share so much more in terms of my recipes, processes and techniques… Exciting stuff!!
Now let´s chat a moment about this recipe, shall we? Lemon Meringue Pie is definitely one of my TOP 5 Desserts EVER! I love the stuff. And I love the massive portions they serve up in coffee shops in South Africa. Like for example at Mugg&Bean, one of my favourite South African coffee shop chains. My hubby was “gobbed smacked” when he first saw the portion sizes of the cakes they sell there. You can order half portions too, but seriously who are we kidding… You only live once, RIGHT?? 🙂

I have seriously been wanting to make this Lemon Meringue Popcorn recipe for ages. The idea came to me one day and since then it has become an obsession to make it, and share here with you guys of course! I made Italian Meringue for mine, but to make it muuuuuch easier for you guys, swop it out with Marshmallow Fluff and you´ve got yourself an super easy version! AND to make it even more authentic, I added cookie crumbs on the top!
THIS TASTED JUST LIKE LEMON MERINGUE PIE. NO KIDDING!!
I hope you guys give this recipe a try. It´s a great idea for a date night or family movie night. This will be the dessert, of course, and if I can give you a tip: make extra, because everyone is going to want seconds!!
H-a-p-p-y Weekend!!

ps. In my Strawberry Pancake Milkshake post I spoke about my new Photography background boards. In this post you can see my latest purchase! The prints are from a shop on Etsy called Country Contessa Photo, and I got them printed out by a local digital Printer who printed them for me on adhesive paper in a matt finish. I then stuck them on the side of my old background wooden boards that I don´t use. The resolution quality is absolutely amazing and seriously looks like the real deal!! So in case you´re looking for new background boards, this is the way to go.

I’ve never thought to combine lemon and popcorn, but this sounds delicious! I’ve been loving all things citrus lately, so I’ve got to try this.
Me too Jenna, every time Summer comes around I develop cravings for lemon desserts & drinks! 🙂
If I wasn’t so tired, I would go down to the kitchen and make a batch of this right now. It sounds SO good!! Thanks for sharing with us at Delicious Dishes recipe party. Hope to see you again this week!
Thanks Laura! when you try it, let me know what you think ok!?
Sounds delicious! Will have to try next movie night for sure!
Thanks Melanie! You´re going to love it 🙂 🙂
This lemon lover would LOVE to try this. Could you clarify the second ingredient in the Italian Meringue? It says 1 Tablespoons of water + 1 Tablespoon. Should what comes after the plus sign actually be 1 teaspoon of additional water, or is it 1 Tablespoon of another ingredient? Thanks.
Hi thanks for your comment! I´ve corrected the recipe now 🙂
What a unique way to enjoy popcorn! So fun, yummy, and summery! 🙂
Yes what is it about lemons that make us think of Summer!? 🙂
You KILLED it on the video, Johlene!! Seriously, girlfriend – way to go!! I LOVE this popcorn!! I literally eat popcorn about 3 times a week for dinner (I know. I have a problem), but I have never had such a unique flavor!! This sounds and looks incredible! Lemon meringue pie flavored popcorn?! Just genius! Can’t wait to try this, my dear! Pinned! Cheers, friend! <3
Awww you´re way too sweet friend, thanks a TON!!! Xo
Never thought to combine popcorn with lemon meringue!! You are brilliant, my friend!
Thanks friend!! Xo
That coffee shop sounds like my kind of place. Too big is never enough when it comes to the portion size of pie and cake!
This is such a unique popcorn. I always think of caramel or chocolate with popcorn. What a great idea!
Yes me too Amanda, especially when it’s Lemon Meringue Pie! The one they serve there has the best cookie crust too!! 🙂
What a fun popcorn flavor! I’ve never though of making a lemon meringue popcorn before! I bet that salty sweet combo is amazing!
Thanks Shelby! Spot on, the salty sweet combo is what makes this recipe! 🙂
Wow, this is such a fun take on classic popcorn. So creative!!
Thanks Rachel!!
Woah! My mind is blown with this recipe, Johlene. I was trying to guess how you incorporated these flavors into popcorn. Love it! I’m definitely in the mood to sit down for a movie this weekend, and I’m thinking a yummy dessert popcorn could be in order. (And for the record, I would’ve ordered the whole slice, too…c’mon…it’s cake!!) I hope you and the fam have an awesome weekend!
Thanks David, we had a great weekend! My daughter officially finished highschool last Friday, and on Wednesday we get her results! I can´t believe my child is all grown up! 🙂
