Lemon meringue pie is a type of baked pie, usually served for dessert, made with a pastry base usually shortcrust or shortbread pastry, lemon curd filling and a fluffy meringue topping. Lemon meringue pie is typically prepared with a bottom pie crust, but with no upper crust: i.e. the meringue is directly on top of the lemon filling. It is a traditional Australian dessert ^{[citation needed]} made with typical farmyard accessible ingredients such as lemons and eggs, and is related to another famous Australian dessert, the Pavlova ^{[citation needed]}.
