No Bake Orange Pie
Orange Cream Pie is so quick and easy with a 5 minute prep time and 5 ingredients! It has a lovely light and creamy citrus filling surrounded by an irresistible graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Mandarin oranges, 1 can drained, juice reserved
- 3 ounces Orange gelatin, 1 package
- 12 ounces Orange yogurt, or 2 6 ounce containers
- 8 ounces Cool whip, 1 tub
- 1 Graham cracker pie crust
- ½ cup Mandarin oranges, chopped
Instructions
- First, take a large bowl (microwave safe) and add the orange gelatin along with 1/4 cup of reserved mandarin orange juice.
- Next, microwave on high for 1 minute.
- Then, place the gelatin mixture in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to thicken before adding the yogurt and whipped topping.
- After that, whisk in orange yogurt and Cool Whip.
- Then, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped mandarin oranges.
- Pour the pie filling into a 9-inch pie shell and top it with some whole mandarin oranges or orange slices for garnish (optional).
- Finally, refrigerate it until it sets, which should take around 4 hours.
Christina's Notes
- This Recipe Can be Doubled: Simply increase the ingredients proportionately and split it into two pie dishes before chilling.
- Graham Cracker Crumbs: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of your dessert to add delicious crumbs.
- Nuts: Top this delight with chopped walnuts or pecans for an amazing crunch.
- Zest: Add orange zest to your mixture to pack in more orange flavor.
- Whipped Topping: Make a delicious orange whipped topping by combining heavy cream, granulated sugar, sweet orange and vanilla in a stand mixer until peaks form.
- Drain Fruit: Drain canned mandarin oranges thoroughly to keep your dessert from becoming runny.
- Finish: Top the orange cream pie with store-bought or homemade whipped cream.
- Cream Cheese: While this recipe calls for the use of yogurt for the orange pie filling, softened cream cheese can be a great substitute.
- Fresh Oranges: Fresh peeled mandarin oranges work in this recipe for an even fresher-tasting treat, or you can use an orange extract.
