Orange Creamsicle Pie

  • 1 3-ounce package orange flavored gelatin dessert
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/3 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 store-bought graham cracker crust
  • Whipped cream and orange wedges (for topping)

Dissolve gelatin powder in hot water. Set aside to cool. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the orange zest, sugar, lemon and orange juices and beat until combined. Add the cooled gelatin mixture and beat until just combined and smooth in texture. Place in fridge and chill until almost set (about 35-45 minutes).

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Add to the chilled gelatin mixture and beat until combined and smooth in texture. Pour into the graham cracker pie crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate until fully set (at least 6 hours or overnight). Serve with whipped cream and orange wedges on top.
