Use the back of a large metal spoon to spread meringue over circle on paper.
Shape into a shell, building up sides.

Turn off oven.
Let meringue dry in oven with door closed, at least 1 hour.
For filling: Omitting the milk called for on the pudding package, in medium mixing bowl combine 1 1/3 cups milk, the coffee crystals and orange peel.
Add pudding mix and prepare according to package directions.
Beat whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Immediately fold into pudding.
Place meringue shell on serving platter.
Spoon filling into shell.
