You're going to love this orange creamsicle pie, which is creamy and full of citrus flavor. All will love the nostalgic creamsicle flavor!
Equipment
- 9-inch pie plate
Ingredients
- 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
- 5 large egg yolks
- 2 tsp. orange zest
- ½ c. fresh orange juice
- ¼ c. fresh lemon juice
- 1.5 c. vanilla wafer crumbs
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter melted
- whipped cream for garnish
- additional orange zest/orange slices for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Crush vanilla wafers into crumbs; you'll need 1.5 cups worth. In a medium bowl, add the vanilla crumbs and melted butter. Mix together and then firmly press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the pie crust to fully cool.
- In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, orange zest, orange juice, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour the pie mixture into the cooled crust.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the center has set. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature; then refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours.
- Top pie with whipped cream and garnish with orange zest and slices, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice, along with freshly grated orange zest. Fresh citrus adds brightness and enhances the creamsicle flavor of the pie.
- Pre-baking the vanilla wafer crust ensures that it stays crisp and holds its shape when slicing the pie.
- To achieve the perfect creamy texture, refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 3 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. This allows the filling to set completely and enhances the flavors.
