lemon meringue
Tart-topped tart
Lemon meringue refers to a classic combination of tart lemon custard topped with sweet, airy meringue—most commonly in lemon meringue pie.
The pairing balances sharp citrus against pillowy sweetness.
The phrase often stands alone as shorthand for the pie itself: I'll have a slice of the lemon meringue.
