Lemon Meringue Filling

Lemon Meringue Filling

EverydaySweetened

Lemon meringue filling is a sweetened custard-like component of lemon meringue pie, made primarily from lemon juice, sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch. Its signature balance of tart citrus flavor and velvety texture comes from gently cooking the mixture until thickened, while the egg content provides modest protein but contributes to its high cholesterol and calorie density. This filling is typically paired with a fluffy meringue topping, creating a classic dessert contrast that remains unsuitable for vegan diets or those with egg allergies.
