No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Pie [0000901]

Ingredients:

1 gluten-free graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix (gluten-free)
1 1/2 cups cold milk (use a gluten-free milk alternative if needed)
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest (from 1-2 oranges)
1 cup gluten-free whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
1/2 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange extract (optional, for extra flavor)
Fresh orange slices and additional orange zest for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

If you're making a homemade gluten-free graham cracker crust, prepare it and let it cool completely before using. If not, use a store-bought gluten-free crust.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens, usually in about 2 minutes.

Stir in the thawed frozen orange juice concentrate and fresh orange zest.

Gently fold in the gluten-free whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

If desired, add the gluten-free vanilla extract and orange extract (for extra flavor) and mix until well combined.

Pour the Orange Creamsicle filling into the prepared gluten-free graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to set and chill.

Just before serving, garnish with fresh orange slices and additional orange zest if desired.

Slice and serve your gluten-free No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Pie, a refreshing and citrusy dessert!
