Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowls
• Electric mixer
• Whisk
• Spatula
• 9-inch pie dish

Ingredients Overview

• Graham Cracker Crust: A buttery and crumbly base for the pie. You can use store-bought or make your own.
• Orange Jell-O: Provides the iconic creamsicle flavor and vibrant color.
• Cream Cheese: Adds richness and a creamy texture.
• Whipped Topping: Lightens the filling and gives it an airy consistency.
• Orange Juice Concentrate: Enhances the citrusy flavor.
• Powdered Sugar: Balances the tangy and sweet flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

• If making your own crust, mix 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Make the Filling

• In a mixing bowl, dissolve one small package of orange Jell-O (3 ounces) in 1/2 cup boiling water. Let it cool to room temperature.
• In another bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth.
• Gradually mix in the cooled Jell-O, 1/2 cup thawed orange juice concentrate, and 2 cups whipped topping. Stir until fully combined and smooth.

3. Assemble the Pie

• Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

4. Chill

• Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.

5. Garnish and Serve

• Before serving, garnish with additional whipped topping, orange zest, or slices of fresh orange, if desired. Slice and enjoy this creamy, citrusy delight!

Recipe Tips

• For a sweeter crust, use cinnamon graham crackers instead of plain.
• Make sure the Jell-O has cooled completely before mixing it with the cream cheese to prevent curdling.
• For a more vibrant color, add a drop of orange food coloring to the filling.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra creamy touch.
• Pair with a citrusy drink like lemonade or an orange spritzer for a refreshing combination.
