Spiced Orange Meringue Pie
Our twist on the classic lemon meringue pie. We have used ingredients from our SOSA gastronomy range such as albumina powder and dextrose which result in a fluffier and more stable meringue and gelcrem to get a perfectly smooth curd. Give them a try and change the way you bake forever!

To make...
- With a stick blender, mix all the curd ingredients. Heat until boiling point, stirring constantly with a whisk. Once thickened remove from heat and then cool down quickly (immerse pan in cold water and stir until cooled). Fill a piping bag and then refrigerate until needed.
- Mix the water and albumina powder with a whisk until dissolved. Place into a kitchen aid and whip, adding the sugar little by little. Then add the dextrose and continue to whip until you have a silky meringue texture. Put your meringue into a piping bag.
- Fill a sweet pastry case with the spiced orange curd. Pipe your meringue on top and then finish with a blow torch.
- Garnish with chocolate coated popping candy and candied orange peel.
