Frozen Orange Creamsicle Pie Recipes

FROZEN ORANGE CREAMSICLE PIE

Steps:

• 1. For the crust: Mix together pretzel crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake in a preheated 325º oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely.
• 2. For the filling: Pour heavy cream into a large bowl along with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and vanilla. Use an electric mixer to beat the cream until stiff peaks form. Scrape whipped cream into a separate bowl and set aside.
• 3. Without cleaning mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining 1-1/4 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Blend in orange juice concentrate and beat until well incorporated. Gently fold 1/4 of whipped cream into orange juice mixture. Repeat with remaining whipped cream, working 1/4 at a time and taking care not to overmix.
• 4. Pour filling into cooled pie shell and smooth top. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight. Remove from freezer 15 minutes before serving to allow to soften slightly for slicing. Garnish with fresh whipped cream, orange slices, and/or mini pretzels, if desired.

Steps:

• Lightly grease bottom of pie dish with cooking spray
• In a food processor, add crackers and powdered sugar. Pulse until you have fine crumbs.
• Using a medium bowl, combine melted butter and cracker crumbs. Mix until well combined. Test crust mixture to make sure it will hold together: using your fingers, pinch the mixture together, if it clumps together, it's done, if doesn't hold together, add ½ -1 tablespoon more melted butter at a time until mixture holds together. Set aside about 3/4 - 1 cup of crust for topping.
• Press remaining crust mixture into the pie dish and set aside.
• Using a large mixing bowl, combine orange juice concentrate, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, salt and stir until combined.
• Add whipped topping and stir until smooth.
• Pour the mixture over the crust. (depending on the size of your pie dish, you may have extra mixture. Set it aside and use for parfaits or a dip)
• Top with reserved cracker crust crumbs by sprinkling over top of pie.
• Place pie in freezer to set for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better), before serving. Store leftover dessert covered in the freezer.
