Dreamsicle Delight Pie
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
– 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
– 2 tablespoons orange zest
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Orange slices and fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, orange juice, and orange zest until well combined.
5. Pour the orange mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust and spread it out evenly. Place the pie dish in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. When the pie is set, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
7. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie, creating swirls with a spatula for a decorative touch.
8. Garnish the Dreamsicle Delight Pie with orange slices and fresh mint leaves before serving.
