How to Make Orange And Spice Pie
- In a heavy medium saucepan, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons orange zest, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon ground cardamom until completely smooth.
- Add ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into cubes.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency (coating the back of a spoon), about 7-9 minutes. Do not boil.
- Strain the orange curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass bowl to remove any lumps.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 3 days, until completely chilled and set.
- In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled orange curd until just combined.
- Pour the filling into your prepared pie crust.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 1 day, to allow the filling to set completely.
