Equipment

9-inch pie dish
Mixing bowls
Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
Spatula

Ingredients

For the Graham Cracker Crust

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs Use finely crushed graham crackers for best texture.
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

For the Filling

1 package orange-flavored gelatin 3 oz package (Jell-O)
½ cup boiling water
1 cup cold orange juice preferably pulp-free
1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz can
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract preferably Madagascar bourbon
2 cups whipped topping like Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust. In a mixing bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and combine until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into a 9-inch pie dish. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Dissolve the Gelatin. In a separate bowl, combine the orange gelatin with the boiling water. Stir thoroughly until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add Cold Ingredients. Stir in the cold orange juice, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Fold in Whipped Topping. Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until fully incorporated and light. Avoid overmixing to preserve a fluffy texture.
Step 5: Fill and Chill. Pour the creamsicle filling into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Notes

To intensify the orange flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest to the filling mixture.
If you'd like a firmer texture, freeze the pie for 1 hour post refrigeration before serving.
For a homemade touch, make whipped cream from scratch and fold it in place of store-bought topping.
