Orange Creamsicle Meringue Frosting

Makes: Enough for 18 cupcakes

T his Orange Creamsicle Meringue Frosting is an absolute treat for citrus lovers, with its light, fluffy texture and naturally bright flavor from blood oranges. Just the aroma of fresh blood orange zest in the frosting has a mood-lifting effect! Freshly squeezed blood orange juice adds a juicy kick, perfect when blood oranges are in season for their vibrant color and slightly tart taste. When they’re not available, clementines work beautifully as a substitute.

To heighten the flavor, a touch of citric acid brings extra zestiness, while vanilla bean paste adds a warm depth. The glucose gives this frosting its gorgeous glossy finish and keeps it stable on cakes or cupcakes for up to two days without crusting—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 layer over ice cream cakes.
