Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 5 large egg yolks, beaten
• 1 medium Valencia orange, zested and juiced
• 0.5 cup frozen pulp-free orange juice concentrate, thawed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Stir wafers, butter, and sugar in a bowl until well combined. Press crust mixture evenly in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch glass pie plate.

Step 3

Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Leave the oven on.

Step 4

Beat egg yolks in a large bowl with a hand mixer. Add condensed milk; mix until well combined. Mix in orange juice concentrate until well combined and slightly thickened. Mix in orange zest and juice. Pour filling into the cooled crust.

Step 5

Bake until filling is firm to the touch and only slightly jiggly in the center, about 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes; filling will set as it cools.

Step 6

Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
