This Orange Creamsicle Pie is a simple and tasty pie that will have you dreaming of sunshine and Florida orange groves, even in the depths of winter! The best thing about this cake is that it doesn’t need to be cooked, so you can simply assemble it and let it do its thing while you get on with other stuff.
To make this pie, start by preparing jello. Make the pie base using butter and cracker crumbs. Once the base is mixed, check to see the crumb will set by squeezing a little in your hand. You want the mixture to hold together but not be soggy. If the base is too dry, add more butter. If it is too greasy, simply add more crumbs. Whisk together cream, jello, and marmalade and pour over the base. Freeze until 30 minutes before you want to serve.
To make my Orange Creamsicle Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
Generously grease a 7-inch tart tin with butter. Set aside.
Combine a packet of jello powder with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir to dissolve and set aside to cool.
Place 4 ounces of butter in a saucepan and melt. Add 2 cups of cracker crumbs and 3 tablespoons of sugar, then mix thoroughly.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the tart tin. Press the base with a flat-bottomed glass or cup. Place the tin in the refrigerator.
Whip 1¼ cups of cream with a whisk until firm, but not stiff. Carefully add the jello, 4 tablespoons of marmalade, and 1 tablespoon of orange zest to the whipped cream. Stir gently using a metal spoon until mixed but without knocking the air from the cream.
Pour the mixture onto the pie crust and tap the tin on the work surface to release any air bubbles.
Place the pie in the freezer. If you are not eating immediately, wrap in plastic wrap.
Remove from the freezer about 30 minutes before serving. Serve with the remaining whipped cream swirled on top and sprinkled with orange zest.
This Orange Creamsicle Pie is a deliciously simple no-bake dessert. Don’t forget to tag #CookMeRecipes if you try this one.
