Orange Cream Meringue Cups image

As a change from heavy desserts, I like to serve crisp meringue cups filled with a creamy orange custard. The shells and filling can be made in advance; fill just before serving.-Deirdre Cox, Kansas City, Missouri

I don't have a kitchen torch. Can I use a regular oven to brown the meringue?

I'm allergic to oranges. Can I use a different citrus fruit instead?
