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.
