Ingredients
Crust
- 1 Graham Cracker Crust
Filling
- 15 ounces Mandarin oranges, 1 can drained (juice reserved)
- 3.4 ounces Orange Jello mix
- 12 ounces Orange creamsicle yogurt (2 containers)
- 8 ounces Whipped Cream (plus more for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare gelatin mixture: In a large glass bowl, combine the orange gelatin powder with 1/4 cup of the reserved mandarin orange juice. Microwave it on high for 1 minute until the gelatin dissolves completely. Then, place the mixture in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow it to thicken.
- Mix filling: Once the gelatin mixture has thickened, whisk in the orange creamsicle yogurt and whipped cream (Cool Whip). Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chopped mandarin oranges to add texture and bursts of citrus flavor.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the prepared filling evenly into the graham cracker crust. Top the pie with dollops of whipped cream and arrange whole mandarin oranges decoratively on top if desired.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for approximately 4 hours until it is fully set. For an alternate frozen version, place the pie in the freezer for 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Store the Orange Creamsicle Pie in the refrigerator, tightly covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- For best texture and flavor, consume within 2-3 days.
- Optional: Add extra whipped cream topping just before serving for added richness and presentation.
