Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 0.75 cups orange juice concentrate, thawed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the thawed orange juice concentrate and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using a hand or stand mixer.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with orange zest and chopped nuts for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Nutty Creamsicle Pie!
