Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Heavy cream (cold)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 3 ounces Orange gelatin powder
• 1 cup Hot water
• 1 cup Whipped cream (for topping, optional)
• 1 small orange Orange slices or zest (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to ensure it is tightly packed.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a small bowl, dissolve the orange gelatin powder in hot water. Stir well until completely dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Add the orange juice, orange zest, and cooled gelatin mixture to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and smooth.

Step 8

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.

Step 9

Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange mixture in batches until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 10

Pour the orange mousse filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Step 12

Before serving, optionally top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with orange slices or extra orange zest.

Step 13

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delightful Orange Mousse Pie!
