Best 4 Sorbet Meringue Pie Recipes

MERINGUE BOXES WITH SORBET

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees. Use a pencil to trace six 3-inch squares and twelve 2-inch-by-3-inch rectangles on a piece of parchment paper, and place, pencil side down, on baking sheet.
• Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the meringue for later use. Fill a piping bag fitted with a coupler, with a tip of your choice, and pipe out the meringue in desired patterns. The piped lines or designs should connect, but you want to leave plenty of open spaces in between the piping. Cover the remaining meringue with plastic, and set aside.
• Bake piped meringue 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 175 degrees, and bake an additional 35 minutes or longer, until the meringue is dried but still white.
• Return the remaining meringue to electric mixer, and rewhip until light, fluffy, and glossy. Fill a pastry bag with the meringue and a plain tip. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, assemble the boxes by piping the meringue along edges of bottom square and piping meringue between side rectangles. Change the tips, and pipe out a decorative pattern on the outside joints to hide your work. Do not attach the top of box.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven, and bake until the second piping of meringue is hard and dry, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool completely.
• Scoop the sorbet into each box, and serve with top to the side or placed over sorbet.

ORANGE MERINGUE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line pastry with aluminum foil and a layer of pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven until edge of crust is golden, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights; bake about 5 minutes more.
• In a small saucepan, stir together the 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cornstarch, and salt. Mix in the orange juice, lemon juice, and water. Whisk in the egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and orange zest. If desired; stir in diced orange segments. Pour into prepared pie crust, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to cool.
• When pie filling has cooled to room temperature, preheat oven and prepare meringue. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and cream of tartar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Spread over pie, making sure the meringue completely covers the filling and meets the edges of the pie crust.
• Bake in preheated oven until meringue topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes.

15-MINUTE SORBET PIE

Steps:

• To soften the sorbets until spreadable, let them stand at room temperature 5 to 15 minutes or microwave 1 pint at a time on defrost or medium-low 5 to 10 seconds.
• Let stand 3 minutes or until soft, but not melting (if too soft to work with, return to freezer briefly).
• Layer sorbets in crust as shown, mounding slightly in the middle.
• Cover with reserved lid, or with foil if sorbet is too high for lid to snap back in place.
• Freeze at least 6 hours or up to 1 week.
• About 30 minutes before serving: Remove pie from pan (it should lift out easily) to a serving plate.
• Arrange fruit attractively on top, leaving a band of sorbet showing.
• Refrigerate until serving.
