Instructions

3. Let it chill out in the refrigerator while you work on the filling.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a zesty touch of orange zest until they’re mingling nicely.
5. In another bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until it’s standing tall with stiff peaks.
6. Gently introduce the whipped cream to the orange mixture, folding until you’ve got a smooth, dreamy blend. If you’re feeling fancy, add a dash of orange food coloring for that vibrant pop.
7. Pour that luscious orange cream into your chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly like frosting on a cake.
8. Wrap your masterpiece with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and let it stay in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight until it’s solid.
9. Before serving, let the pie relax at room temperature for a few minutes to soften just a bit. 10. Add a flourish of whipped cream, some orange slices, and a sprinkle of orange zest if you’re feeling extra.
