Pie Filling Ingredients

  • Orange Juice. For a strong orange flavor use orange juice concentrate, straight out of the can, don’t dilute with water.
  • Citrus. You will also need 2-3 lemons and 1 orange. Use the juice and zest from the lemon and zest from the orange. You can also squeeze the orange and add that juice in for even more orange goodness.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk. The kind that comes in the can.
  • Eggs. You will only be using the yolks, not the egg whites.
  • Heavy Cream. For garnishing.

Pie Crust Ingredients

  • Graham Crackers or Shortbread Cookies
  • Sugar
  • Butter

How to Make Orange Pie

  1. Make Crust
  • Using either shortbread cookies or graham crackers, add them to a food processor or blender and pulse to make fine crumbs.
  • Add in sugar, salt and melted butter. Whisk to combine mixture.
  • Press into the bottom and up the sides a 9-inch pie plate. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to flatten the crust.
  • Bake the crust for 12 to 14 minutes at 325 degrees F. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.

For a detailed tutorial on making a graham cracker crust check out this post.

2. Make Orange Pie Filling

  • Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl until combined. (Save a little orange zest for the whipped cream)
  • Pour into cooled crust.
  • Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the center jiggles slightly when shaken.
  • Let cool completely and refrigerated for at least 3 hours or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night.

3. Make Orange Whipped Cream

  • Combine heavy whipping cream with sugar and orange zest and whip in a stand mixer or use any kind of electric mixer, until stiff peaks form. Serve on top of sliced pie.
  • Garnish the orange pie with a slice of orange and some additional orange zest if desired.
