This Orange Creamsicle Meringue Frosting is a dream come true for citrus lovers, with its light, fluffy texture and naturally bright flavor from blood oranges. Even the aroma of fresh blood orange zest in the frosting is enough to lift your spirits! Freshly squeezed blood orange juice adds a juicy kick, making this frosting ideal when blood oranges are in season with their vibrant color and slightly tart taste. When they’re out of season, clementines work beautifully as a substitute.
To enhance the flavor, a touch of citric acid brings extra zestiness, while vanilla bean paste adds a warm, comforting depth. The glucose gives this frosting its stunning glossy finish and keeps it stable on cakes or cupcakes for up to two days without crusting – striking just the right balance of sweetness and shine.
This frosting pairs perfectly with chocolate or vanilla cupcakes, classic chocolate cakes, or even as a dreamy topping for ice cream cakes.
