DIY Meringue'd Pie Riding on a Lemon Sled #ELRAugMix ejuice recipe

EDIT 08-10-25 --------------------------------------------

I had to add in a pinch of MF Lemon OG, because even with the Lemons in the OG, it faded too much for my tastes.

I had thought long and hard about the crust before I started tweaking this one, and I did decide to push it more to a "white" crust, than a heavier graham crust. The FW LMP had some crust but not a lot, so the CAP Sugar Cookie, along with the INW Biscuit rounded that layer out. I also fought the urge to jump right to the cheesecakes as that seemed fairly expected, and I felt the filling was better handled by the FW LMP, and the FA Custard for just something less typical.

Now, onto the LEMONS !!!!! How to get a FULL lemon profile without fade ?? I'm used the triple header approach with the FW LMP's lemon, but also layered in the FA Lemon Sicily, and the CAP Juicy Lemon on top. I wanted the Lemons front and center, with some staying power, but without completely overwhelming the mix.

What LMP would be complete without FA Meringue FOR the Meringue boost ?? A little VTA Butter Base to raise up the fat content just a pinch, and some far less coil gunking PUR Super Sweet to push it almost to commercial levels of sweetness. You can obviously always omit that if desired.

Yes, it IS 8 whole, whopping flavors, BUT, they're all pieces in the jigsaw puzzle, that layer on top of each other to complete the puzzle. Please note, I FOUGHT the urge to put in my go to Medicine Flower Lemon, and THAT, was a hard fight to win. I realize that very few still have the OG Lemon, and / or the newer Silver, so this was omitted to try and make it more available for everyone. I briefly thought about trying to top it with ALL orders of toppings, berries, caramels, corn flakes, even slanting it with some Lime, but in the end, I just wanted a rich, layered lemon LMP, all on it's own.

It still comes in below 13%, and I would rec between a 1.0-1.5 week steep minimum to settle, meld, and smooth out.

As predicted I AM experiencing some Lemon Fade. I think my OG thoughts on trying to NOT included MF's Lemon might have been in error. Going to rest it just a bit longer, but I suspect I may have to does it with some Top Shelf Lemon, aka Medicine Flower.

Due to higher than expected levels of Lemon Fade, I added a pinch of MF Lemon OG to help sustain it. I clearly could have used FE, but I didn't want any candy in this mix.
