Orange Ice-Cream Pie

In the South, ice-cream pies are a first cousin to icebox pies, and a particular favorite both at children’s birthday parties and at ice-cream socials held in the summertime. The variations are limitless (different-flavored ice creams, different secondary flavorings, etc.), and it’s truly amazing how the ice cream maintains its firm texture even when the pie is briefly baked to brown the meringue. Obviously, however, this is a pie that should be served the second it comes out of the oven.</
