  • Put it all together. beat the orange juice mixture into the filling. 
  • Assemble the pie. Pour the filling into the pie crust.

  • Make the topping. Whip the remaining cream cheese and cool whip together until smooth.
  • Garnish. Top the pie with the cream cheese whipped cream and orange slices.

Notes

Storage Instructions:
Once the pie has chilled in the fridge or the freezer for a few hours (it needs some time to firm up), wrap it in a double layer of plastic wrap. You can store it in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Should I eat orange creamsicle pie warm or cold?
