No Bake Orange Lemon Pie

Simple to make and the PERFECT Summer sweet treat! BBQ worthy too!!!

RECIPE:

2 cups 1 or 2% milk
3 tbsp cornstarch
2 large 2 large egg whites or 1 egg white and 1 whole egg. Or I like using Egg Beaters or any store brand. 1/4 cup of the liquid egg whites.
1/4 tsp fine sea or kosher salt
8 tbsp superfine sugar — if you don’t have superfine, regular granulated sugar will be fine to use. Also, you can use a no calorie sweetener of choice for a sugar free version
2 tsp orange zest
2 tsp lemon zest
3 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tbsp plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 graham cracker crust, I like to use a readymade graham cracker crust for convenience. For the photo, I showed a crust in a glass pie dish.
Redi whip or any light aerosol whipped topping — optional for decoration
1 tbsp each zest of the orange and lemon for decoration.

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, Egg Beaters, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until the cornstarch has dissolved. Stir constantly over medium heat. You want the mixture to come to a quick boil and be thick. As soon as you see it boil. This should take about 5 minutes. Let boil for just a minute and keep stirring! Now, take off the heat. Keep stirring while you are adding the sugar, lemon and orange juice along with the zest of both fruits. When combined, stir in vanilla extract. Pour the mixture through a sieve into a clean bowl. Use a rubber spatula to get all the mixture through and into the bowl. Scrape the bottom of the sieve to get all the yummy filling. This is an important step to ensure there are no lumps in your filling. Place plastic or wax paper onto the surface and let sit to cool to room temperature. When cooled off, spoon filling into the crust. Chill in fridge for at least 2-3 hours. When ready to serve, sprinkle a little zest over the top of the pie and maybe on the plate too. Spray your whipped topping (optional).When serving a slice of pie on your plate, feel free to sprinkle the crumbs from the bottom of the pie on the top if desired for a nice presentation. Hope you enjoy this luscious pie like we do.
