| Quantity | Ingredient |

| 3 | Egg yolks |
| 1/2 | Cup sugar |
| 1 | Cup orange juice |
| 1 | Envelope unflavored gelatin |
| 2 | Teaspoons grated fresh lemon rind |
| 1/2 | Teaspoon salt |
| 2/3 | Cup powdered sugar |
| 1/8 | Teaspoon salt |
| 1/2 | Cup flaked coconut |
| 1 | Cup heavy whipping cream |
| 3 | Tablespoons powdered sugar |
| 1 | Prepared pie shell |
Instructions:
-
Beat Egg Yolks: Start by beating the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl until they’re smooth and creamy.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, mix together the beaten egg yolks, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of orange juice. Stir the mixture thoroughly until well combined.
-
Cook Mixture: Place the saucepan over low heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for about 10-12 minutes or until it reaches a temperature of 160Β°F. Once done, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
-
Prepare Gelatin Mixture: In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the remaining orange juice. Stir it gently to combine, then let it stand for about a minute to allow the gelatin to dissolve.
-
Combine Mixtures: Add the dissolved gelatin mixture and the grated orange and lemon rind to the cooked egg yolk mixture. Stir everything together until well incorporated.
-
Chill Mixture: Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and chill it until it reaches the consistency of unbeaten egg whites. This should take about 30-45 minutes.
-
Prepare Whipped Cream: In another mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2/3 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt using an electric mixer. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
-
Fold Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the chilled gelatin mixture until fully combined.
-
Add Coconut and Orange Sections: Fold in the flaked coconut and orange sections until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Assemble Pie: Spoon the prepared mixture into the prepared pie shell, spreading it out evenly. Chill the pie in the refrigerator until it’s firm, typically for about 2-3 hours.
-
Prepare Topping: In a clean mixing bowl, beat the remaining heavy whipping cream until it becomes foamy. Gradually add in 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
-
Top the Pie: Spread half of the whipped cream mixture over the chilled pie, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
-
Decorate: Optionally, pipe or dollop the remaining whipped cream around the edge of the pie for a decorative touch.
-
Serve: Slice and serve this delightful Florida Orange Pie chilled, allowing its citrusy flavors to refresh and delight your taste buds with every bite.
