Chef's tips

Sour oranges are very tart, like limes. If you cannot find them, mix orange juice with a little lime juice to match the flavor. Beat the egg white topping until it forms stiff, shiny peaks for the best result.

Storage

Refrigerate up to 3 days.

Reheating

Serve chilled; no reheating needed.

Common mistakes to avoid

•Using regular sweet orange juice without adding tart citrus juice to balance it
•Not beating the egg whites enough, which causes the topping to leak liquid
