This recipe offers a zesty twist on the traditional lemon meringue pie, with the addition of fresh orange zest and juice for a citrusy burst of flavor. Perfect for any occasion, this pie promises to be a crowd-pleaser with its sweet and tangy profile.
- Ensure your egg whites are at room temperature before beating them to achieve maximum volume for your meringue.
- When zesting an orange, be careful to only grate the colorful outer layer, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.
- To prevent the meringue from shrinking or weeping, spread the meringue over the pie while the filling is still hot.
- Use fresh-squeezed orange juice for the best flavor, and feel free to adjust the sugar to your taste if you prefer a sweeter or more tangy pie.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, beautiful cuts.
Your orange meringue pie is now ready to astonish and delight your family and guests. The harmony of the crispy crust, creamy orange filling, and fluffy meringue perfectly complements each other, creating a dessert that is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the taste buds.
