Descriptions

This Easy Orange Cream Pie is a refreshing blend of creamy, tangy orange flavor with a hint of sweetness, all nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust. With its vibrant color and luscious texture, it’s a dessert that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.

Step 2

Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange mixture until well incorporated and fluffy.

Step 3

Assemble the Pie: Pour the orange cream filling into the graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 4

Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Step 5

Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with orange slices or zest. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Pro Tips for Success

Chill Time is Key: Ensure the pie has enough time to set in the fridge for a firm, sliceable texture.
Use Fresh Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed juice provides the best flavor.
Whip Cream Properly: Whip heavy cream to soft peaks for the perfect texture in the filling.

FAQs

Can I use a premade crust?
- Yes! A store-bought graham cracker or shortbread crust works great.
Can I freeze this pie?
- Yes, freeze the pie without the whipped cream topping for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator and add toppings before serving.
Can I substitute the orange gelatin powder?
- You can skip it or use a natural orange food coloring if desired.

Creative Variations

Chocolate-Orange Twist: Add a layer of melted dark chocolate to the crust before adding the filling.
Citrus Medley: Mix in lime or lemon juice and zest for a citrus blend.
Coconut Cream: Fold in shredded coconut for a tropical vibe.
