Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Crushed graham crackers
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 1 cups Orange juice
- 1 cans Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Start by creating the crumb crust: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and moist.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place the dish in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, sweetened condensed milk, and orange zest until fully combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Pour the orange cream mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
When ready to serve, remove the dessert from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
