Does anyone have an orange pie recipe?

Many years ago, we would go to San Francisco Chinatown to buy an orange pie. It was delicious with a mild orange flavor, not too sweet. That restaurant closed and I can't find the pie anywhere. It was in a prebaked crust, had whipped cream on top, pie was refrigerated, filling was orange gelatin (not a custard). I've asked others but no one seems to have any suggestions.

Orange Meringue Pie


This orange meringue pie is adapted from a 1940 Sunkist™ recipe booklet.


1 cup sugar


5 tablespoons cornstarch


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 tablespoon grated orange peel


2 cups Sunkist orange juice


3 egg yolks


1 tablespoon butter


2 tablespoons Sunkist lemon juice


3 egg whites


6 tablespoons sugar


9-inch baked pastry shell or baked orange pastry (below)





Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, and grated orange peel in top of double boiler. Add orange juice and cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in beaten egg yolks and cook another 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add butter and lemon juice. Cool filling slightly . Pour orange filling into a baked 9-inch pastry shell. Beat egg whites until frothy; gradually beat in sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Cover with meringue all the way to edges. Bake at 350° for about 15 minutes, or until nicely browned.

Key Orange Pie


1 cup Heavy cream


1/4 cup Cold water


1 package Unflavored gelatin


6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate, undiluted


8 ounces cream cheese, softened


3/4 cup confectioners' sugar


2 teaspoons vanilla extract


2 tablespoons Grand Marnier


9 to 10-inch graham cracker crust


orange slices for garnish





Put the cream into a small saucepan over high heat. Just before it comes to a boil, put the cold water into a blender and sprinkle in the gelatin, where it should stand for a minute or so. Add the boiling cream to the blender, process on low until all of the gelatin has dissolved (2-3 min.). Add the concentrated orange juice, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and Grand Marnier; process until it is all well blended. Chill for 15 to 20 minutes; pour into the crust and chill until it firms up.


Garnish with orange slices or whole raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries and serve.
