Enjoy a slice of Ballarat this August with the return of Ballarat’s Best Pie competition.
Take your pick from more than 35 savoury and sweet pies at some of the city’s top cafes, restaurants and bakeries.
On the menu at Kilderkin Distillery is chef Brendan Carter's limoncello meringue pie.
Think a buttery pastry base featuring Larrikin Gin botanicals, filled with a limoncello-inspired tangy lemon curd, topped with a sweet meringue crown and gold flakes, and served with a housemade spiced berry coulis.
"Born from Nonna and Nonno’s not-so-secret backyard creations, we’ve been whipping up batches of our Backyard Limoncello for years using Eureka lemons handpicked from a citrus-loving Italian family in the Warby Ranges," Kilderkin's Chris Pratt and Rebecca Matthews said.
"It’s sweet, it’s tangy and it's the kind of drink that makes your tastebuds do a happy dance.
"So, naturally, we thought, what if lemon meringue pie had a wild night out with limoncello? And voila magic!"
