Ingredients You'll Need

Here's everything you need to make this creamy orange pie:

• 1 cup orange marmalade
• Adds a bold, tangy-sweet citrus flavor and a beautiful orange color.
• ½ cup orange juice
• Balances out the marmalade and helps thin the mixture for easy blending.
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• Whipped until fluffy to give the pie its light and creamy texture.
• 1-2 drops orange food coloring (optional)
• For that classic creamsicle orange hue-totally optional!
• 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
• Store-bought or homemade-your choice! Adds a buttery crunch that pairs perfectly with the soft, frozen filling.
• Orange slices for garnish (optional)
• A pretty touch if you're serving it to guests or taking pictures.

Kitchen Tools You'll Need

• Hand mixer or stand mixer (for whipping cream)
• Fine mesh strainer
• Mixing bowls
• Microwave-safe bowl
• Rubber spatula or spoon
• Sharp knife (for slicing)

How to Make Orange Creamsicle Pie

Step 1: Heat and Strain the Orange Mixture

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the orange marmalade and orange juice. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir to combine. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl to remove the orange rind and chunks. Use a spoon to press and stir, helping the liquid pass through. You should be left with about 1 ¼ cups of orange liquid. Set this aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

Whip the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl at high speed using a hand or stand mixer for about 3 minutes or until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream is the base for that classic creamsicle texture.

Tip: Make sure your cream is very cold for best results!

Step 3: Fold and Blend

Gently combine the strained orange mixture with the whipped cream. Add 1-2 drops of orange food coloring for a bright, creamsicle-like look. Mix on low speed for 10-15 seconds-just enough to blend everything smoothly without deflating the whipped cream.

Step 4: Assemble and Freeze

Pour the orange cream mixture into your graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pie in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 5: Add Whipped Topping

Top with additional whipped topping and orange slices (optional).  Cut with a sharp knife.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Slice with a sharp knife for clean servings.
• Top with extra whipped cream and orange slices for a fun, festive finish.
• This pie can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for up to 1 week-perfect for party prep!
• Want a homemade touch? Make your graham cracker crust using crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter.

Make It Your Own

This recipe is super adaptable! Here are a few ways to customize it:

• Add vanilla extract to the whipped cream for a creamsicle-meets-ice cream flavor.
• Use a chocolate cookie crust instead of graham cracker for a rich twist.
• Swirl in some marshmallow fluff before freezing for added sweetness and nostalgia.
• Garnish with candied orange peel or grated white chocolate for an elevated finish.
