storing pie with merigue topping
I need to make a key lime pie with meringue topping for a birthday "cake". Due to my schedule, I need to make the pie around 24 hours before the dinner. Do I store it in the fridge? Or should I bake the pie the day before, refrigerate it and then just do the meringue right before serving? Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

Meringue is best eaten closer to the time it is made. I like to say Meringue won't wait. It's also hard to store something that's been finished with meringue as it attracts quite a bit of moisture in cold boxes and tends to get as sticky as a briar patch! Freezers are better than fridges.
I hope this helps. {P.s I wish that by answering this questions I could get a slice or even a taste! I loves me some citrus & meringue desserts!
