Orange-Lime Pie with Meringue Topping
- 18 sheets cinnamon graham crackers, broken up
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1 14 -ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- Zest of 1 lime
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juic
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until crumbly.
- Slowly drizzle in the butter while pulsing until the crumbs are moist but still crumbly.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the side of an 8-inch springform pan using the bottom of a measuring cup, making sure the crust goes at least 1 inch up the side.
- Set aside.
- Whisk together the egg yolks, condensed milk, lime and orange zests and juices in a medium bowl.
- Pour into the crust and bake until the pie sets, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature.
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler.
- Whisk the egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until foamy.
- Slowly add the sugar until the meringue turns glossy.
- Increase the speed and continue whisking until the meringue holds medium-soft peaks and is glossy but not dry.
- Top the pie decoratively with the meringue.
- Broil in the middle of the oven until the meringue begins browning on top, about 3 minutes.
- Serve warm or let cool to room temperature.
