🧾 Ingredients
- 1 package (3 oz) orange Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip (whipped topping), thawed
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Jello
In a bowl, dissolve the orange Jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well until completely dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature (do not let it set).
2. Mix the Cream Base
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully combined and silky.
3. Combine with Jello
Slowly pour the cooled Jello into the cream cheese mixture while mixing continuously. Blend until smooth and evenly colored.
4. Fold in Whipped Topping
Gently fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and well combined.
5. Assemble the Pie
Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Chill
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
🍰 Serving Suggestions
- Top with extra whipped cream and orange slices
- Add a sprinkle of orange zest for more flavor
- Serve chilled for the best creamy texture
💡 Tips
- Make sure the Jello is cooled before mixing to avoid melting the cream
- For a stronger citrus flavor, add a little fresh orange juice or zest
- You can freeze it for a firmer, ice-cream-like texture
