Ah, lemon meringue pie! 🍋🥧 That’s the dessert that’s all about the balance of tangy, sweet, and fluffy. It usually has three main layers:
- Crust – Often a buttery, flaky pie crust or a graham cracker crust.
- Lemon filling – Tart and creamy, made with lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and sometimes cornstarch to thicken it.
- Meringue topping – Fluffy and lightly sweet, made by whipping egg whites with sugar until glossy, then baked until golden.
The magic happens when the meringue seals the lemon filling so it doesn’t shrink away or weep.
