Orange Cream Pie

"The ORANGE CREAM PIE is extremely good during hot weather, very refreshing. Young people just love it as it tastes just like a "CREAMSICLE". About 22 years ago an East Indian friend suggested that I make this recipe as it was always a special dessert in certain parts of India. I made some modifications to the recipe and everyone tells me that it is better than the original recipe."

  1. My husband loved this "dreamsicle pie"! The tart orange with the sweet creamy topping was a DREAM! I used white chocolate to grate over the topping, we really enjoyed it! Thanks!
     
  2. OMG... dessert just could not get any better than this!!!.... this is a piece of dreamy heaven on a plate. I made this with just graham cracker crumbs, and made just as stated. The only change I made was with the topping, I used a dollup of Cool Whip topping for each piece of pie. This pie had rave reviews, and there was nothing left, it all went!...a absolutely wonderful ending to a meal, this pie deserves more than 5 stars! Thank you Uncle Bill for sharing another great recipe!...Kitten:)
     
  3. This is a great thing! I also tried a variation by substituting lime jelatin for the orange and in place of the orange extract used fresh squeezed lime juice (1 whole lime = 1 tsp orange extract). Excellent!!
