This is a great filling! I used one egg yolk instead of the whole egg as the first time I got strands of cooked egg white in the filling. I also used a bit less orange juice and substituted lemon juice for a stronger lemon flavor. Yummy!

I agree...this is great filling! I followed the modified version Luvsthedogs used by leaving out the egg white. I used some lemon extract along with fresh squeezed orange juice. I added 3 cups of whip cream and it was just as tasty as it was with 1 cup. I will use this again!
