Directions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Add the orange juice and cornstarch to the mixture, whisking until smooth. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a custard.
Remove from heat and stir in the softened gelatin sheet until dissolved. Pour the custard into a pie crust or serving dish and refrigerate until set. -
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. In another bowl, whip the cream until it holds soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg whites until combined.
-
Spread the cream mixture evenly over the chilled orange custard. Refrigerate the pie for at least 5 minutes to set the layers. Garnish with fresh orange zest before serving. Enjoy your delightful citrus dessert!
