This dessert packs a citrusy punch with a creamy filling that reminds you of a favorite childhood ice cream treat.

With the smooth texture of the pie filling, and the crunchy, buttery graham cracker crust, every bite is a perfect balance of flavors.

You’ll need: 

• ¼ cup of cold water
• 1 (0.25 ounce) packet of unflavored gelatin
• ½ cup of boiling water
• 1 teaspoon of pure orange extract
• 1 (3-ounce) box of orange-flavored gelatin
• ¼ cup of crushed ice
• 1 (8-ounce) container of whipped topping, thawed
• 1 (15-ounce) can of mandarin oranges, drained and halved (reserve 8 whole slices for garnish)
• 1 (6-ounce) premade graham cracker crust or homemade graham cracker crust 
• Canned whipped cream (optional garnish)

Substitutions And Additions

CRUST: You can make your own graham cracker crust or even substitute a premade shortbread crust for the graham cracker crust in this easy pie recipe.

 ORANGE FLAVOR: If you want an even stronger orange flavor in this easy dessert, you can add 2 teaspoons of fresh orange zest to the filling mixture. 

How To Make This Creamsicle Pie Recipe

Follow our step-by-step instructions to mix up the creamy pie filling and spread it in the pre-made pie crust. Give the pie plenty of time to chill and set before digging in.

STEP ONE: Add the ¼ cup cold water to a small bowl. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin packet over the cold water, and stir to combine.

Allow the gelatin to bloom for 1 to 2 minutes. 

STEP TWO: Add ½ cup boiling water to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

STEP THREE: Add the bloomed gelatin to the boiling water.

STEP FOUR: Stir in the orange extract. 

STEP FIVE: Sprinkle the orange gelatin powder over the boiling water and stir until the gelatin completely dissolves. 

STEP SIX: Stir in ¼ cup of crushed ice until the ice is completely dissolved. 

STEP SEVEN: Fold in the whipped topping and halved mandarin orange slices to the gelatin mixture. 

STEP EIGHT: Pour the creamsicle filling into the premade graham cracker crust. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

Just before you are ready to serve, slice into eight slices and garnish with a swirl of canned whipped cream.

Place 1 of the whole mandarin orange segments on top of the swirl.

How To Serve

 Enjoy all the flavors of a favorite childhood treat in this divine pie. Whip this up any time of year when you crave a sweet treat.

Add a drink with even more nostalgia, such as our Orange Julius or Wendy’s frosty. 

Serve a slice of pie with a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream on the side. The contrast of the cold ice cream with the creamy pie creates a perfect balance of flavors.

Our strawberry Cool Whip pie and chocolate pie are two more easy recipes for delightful, no-bake pies that you will enjoy making and sharing.

The hardest part of these easy desserts is waiting for them to chill in the fridge.

Storing This Orange Creamsicle Pie

Let’s have a look at how to store your pie to ensure it stays fresh long enough for you to enjoy it.

IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftovers of this delicious pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 

IN THE FREEZER: Freezing this no-bake Jello pie is not recommended. When the pie thaws, it will cause the bottom of the pie to become soggy. 

The delicious flavors of the orange and vanilla creamsicle frozen treat always bring a smile to my face. This creamsicle pie recipe is easy to follow and results in a creamy, dreamy no-bake dessert that will have you coming back for seconds (and thirds!).

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ¼ cup cold water
• 0.25 ounces unflavored gelatin
• ½ cup boiling water
• 1 teaspoon pure orange extract
• 3 ounces orange-flavored gelatin
• ¼ cup crushed ice
• 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
• 15 ounces mandarin oranges, drained and halved (reserve 8 whole slices for garnish)
• 6 ounces premade graham cracker crust, or homemade graham cracker crust
• whipped cream, optional garnish

Instructions

 

• Add ¼ cup of cold water to a small bowl. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin packet over the cold water, and stir to combine. Allow the gelatin to bloom for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add ½ cup boiling water to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
• Add the bloomed gelatin to the boiling water.
• Stir in the orange extract.
• Sprinkle the orange gelatin powder over the boiling water and stir until the gelatin completely dissolves.
• Stir in the ¼ cup crushed ice until the ice is completely dissolved.
• Fold in the whipped topping and halved mandarin oranges.
• Pour the pie filling into the premade graham cracker crust. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Slice into 8 slices.
• Just before you are ready to serve, garnish with a swirl of the canned whipped cream. Place 1 of the whole segments of mandarin oranges on top of the swirl.

Notes

• You can make this the night before to save time, especially since it needs time to chill before serving.
• If your pie crust is in a foil tin, we’d recommend sitting it (foil pan and all) inside a glass pie dish to give it a bit more stability when taking it in and out of the fridge.
• Make sure you give this pie plenty of time to chill in the fridge so that the filling sets fully before serving.
• Blooming gelatin means allowing it to sit for 3 to 5 minutes until it has absorbed the liquid and the powdered granules have dissolved. The granules will swell as it blooms.
