Ingredients
  • 18 Graham Crackers; fine crush
  • 6 oz Orange juice concentrate;
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350ðF (177ðC) if baking the crust, though this recipe typically sets in the freezer.
  2. 2
    Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs, yielding approximately 1 1/4 cups.
  3. 3
    In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted margarine until evenly moistened.
  4. 4
    Press the crumb mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust.
  5. 5
    Set the prepared crust aside while you prepare the filling.
  6. 6
    Ensure the vanilla ice cream is softened enough to blend smoothly.
  7. 7
    In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend the softened vanilla ice cream and thawed orange juice concentrate until smooth and well combined.
  8. 8
    Pour the orange-cream mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and spread it evenly.
  9. 9
    Place the pie in the freezer and freeze until firm, which takes about 4 hours.
  10. 10
    Just before serving, top the pie with Cool Whip and garnish with fresh orange slices.

Note

For best texture, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before mixing to ensure a smooth blend without lumps.

If you prefer a firmer crust, you can bake the graham cracker crust at 350ðF for 8-10 minutes before adding the filling and freezing.

Store leftovers covered in the freezer. For easier slicing, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting.

You can substitute the Cool Whip with whipped cream for a dairy-free option if using a vegan ice cream base, though the original recipe lists Vegan as a tag which may conflict with dairy ingredients like Cool Whip and ice cream depending on the specific brands used.
