A couple of years ago, I had the misfortune of eating a less-than-fresh Pineapple Meringue Pie at P.S. Cafe Palais Renaissance. It put me off the dessert completely until last night when a group of us ordered it to share. This time, I was struck dumb by its scrumptiousness. Mainly because every component tasted wonderfully fresh. Also, the crust base was of extreme butteriness which I'm all for, always. Filling it was a smooth, slightly sweet and tangy pineapple curd that would have earned a "just right" rating from Goldilocks. Rising from the fruity filling was a majestic meringue mountain that didn't threaten to make our teeth fall out.
Yep, this one gets to go back into the "Desserts Worth The Calories" folder.
