What you need to make Super Easy Orange Creamsicle Pie:

1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust (pre-made)

3 oz box orange gelatin

⅔ cup boiling water

1 cup ice cold water

8 oz Cool Whip, thawed

Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)

Raspberries (optional, for garnish)

How to make it:

Dissolve the gelatin: In a large bowl, whisk together the orange gelatin and boiling water until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Set the gelatin: Whisk in the ice cold water until the mixture becomes frothy.

Incorporate the Cool Whip: Gradually fold in the thawed Cool Whip until everything is well combined and a light orange color.

Chill and set: Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the filling is firm.

Serve and enjoy! Garnish with whipped cream and raspberries before serving (optional).

Tips:

For a stronger orange flavor, add a teaspoon of orange extract to the Cool Whip mixture along with the gelatin.

If you don’t have Cool Whip, you can substitute 2 cups of whipped cream. Just be sure to whip the cream to stiff peaks before folding it in.

This pie can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
