What is Lemon Meringue Pie?
Lemon meringue pie is a custard pie which is topped with a frothy layer of meringue. Many people think of lemon meringue pie as a classic Southern American dessert, thanks to its abundance in the American South, but it also shows up in other regions of the country and the world. When well made, a lemon meringue pie showcases the tangy, intense flavor of lemons, balancing it out with naturally sweet and fluffy meringue. Many diners offer lemon meringue pie, and you can also make lemon meringue pie at home. It is not terribly difficult to make, although the kitchen can get a bit messy during the process.
