Ingredients
Meringues:
- 4 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Florida Orange Juice Curd:
- 1 cup Florida Orange Juice
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1⅓ cups granulated sugar
- 6 large egg yolks
- 2 large eggs
- 12 tablespoons (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Vanilla Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Garnish (optional):
- Florida Orange segments
- Candied Florida orange peel
- Citrus zest
Instructions
- Make orange curd: In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, Florida Orange Juice, lemon juice, egg yolks, whole eggs, and salt.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, 8–10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until smooth. Strain if desired, then transfer to a bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Chill completely. (The curd will continue to thicken as it cools.)
- Make the meringue: Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Gently fold in the cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla.
- Spoon or pipe the meringue into 6–8 rounds (about 3–4 inches wide) on the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread each into a thick disk, then create a shallow well in the center, leaving slightly higher edges (like a little nest) to hold the filling later.
- Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let cool completely inside. The outside should be crisp the center marshmallowy.
- Make whipped cream: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to soft-medium peaks. Keep chilled until ready to use.
- Assemble: Place the cooled meringues on a serving platter. Top each with whipped cream, then spoon orange curd into the center. Gently swirl for that creamsicle effect.
- Garnish with orange segments, candied peel, or a little Florida orange zest if desired. Serve immediately.
