Ingredients:
Here’s what you’ll need from the grocery store to turn this creamsicle pie recipe into a delicious reality. Don’t forget to scroll to the recipe card below for precise measurements.
- Shortbread cookies – Graham crackers would be a great alternative.
- Butter
- Oranges – I used naval oranges but Mandarin oranges would work as well.
- Orange zest – You can use ½ tablespoon of orange extract instead.
- Vanilla Extract– You can use orange extract in addition to or instead of vanilla for an extra orange kick.
- Orange juice
- Orange Jello
- Cream cheese
- Cool Whip
- Sweetened condensed milk
Supplies:
- Pie dish
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Mixing bowls
- Food processor
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Stand mixer (or hand mixer)
- Rubber spatula
Instructions:
Prep. Spray a deep pie dish with no-stick spray.
Make the crust. Pulse the cookies in a food processor until they reach a sand-like consistency. In a mixing bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter and then press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish. Pop it in the freezer while you make the filling.
Create orange flavor. Rinse out the food processor and add the orange slices, orange zest, vanilla extract, and orange juice. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
Make the filling base. In a stand mixer (a large mixing bowl and a hand mixer will also work), combine 8 ounces of cream cheese and the Jello mix. Beat until smooth.
Make it fluffy. Fold in the sweetened condensed milk along with 8 ounces of Cool Whip.
Put it all together. beat the orange juice mixture into the filling.
Assemble the pie. Pour the filling into the pie crust.
Chill
