Ellie broke with tradition and made a pie that didn’t have any cinnamon in it. But at least it wasn’t a chocolate pie. We found an Orange Creamsicle Pie recipe online some time ago, but it wasn’t a sure thing that anyone was going to have the guts to pull the trigger on it. Ellie did.
It’s got two layers on top of the traditional graham cracker crust. First is a creamy cream cheese layer, just like the inside of a creamsicle. And on top is a thinner but stronger layer, powered by orange Jell-O powder. It pretty much nailed the taste of a creamsicle, so if you like that kind of thing (some members of our family don’t, seeing as how there’s no chocolate in a creamsicle), it’s great. It probably would have been even better served frozen, but we didn’t try that.
