Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 9-inch store bought pie crust

Filling

  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

Topping

  • Aerosol whipped cream
  • Orange slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) to prepare for baking the pie crust and filling.
  2. Bake the pie crust: Place the 9-inch store-bought pie crust on a baking sheet or dish and bake it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. This helps to ensure a crisp base for the pie.
  3. Prepare the filling: While the crust bakes and cools slightly, combine 14 oz of sweetened condensed milk and 5 large egg yolks in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until the egg yolks are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add citrus flavors: Stir in ½ cup of thawed frozen orange juice concentrate, ¼ cup lime juice, and 1 teaspoon orange zest into the egg and milk mixture. Whisk everything together until well combined.
  5. Fill the crust: Pour the prepared filling mixture evenly into the baked pie crust.
  6. Bake the pie: Return the filled pie to the oven and bake at 325°F for 16 to 18 minutes. The filling should be set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Cool the pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for a short while.
  8. Chill: Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to fully set and chill.
  9. Add toppings and serve: Once chilled, top the pie with aerosol whipped cream and garnish with fresh orange slices. Slice, serve, and enjoy your citrusy dessert!

Notes

  • Allow the pie to chill thoroughly to ensure the filling sets properly before serving.
  • Use fresh orange slices for garnish to enhance both flavor and presentation.
  • Thaw frozen orange juice concentrate completely to ensure smooth blending in the filling.
  • If preferred, a homemade pie crust can be substituted for the store-bought option.
  • Handle egg yolks gently and whisk until smooth but avoid overbeating to prevent curdling during baking.
