Description

This no-bake Jello Orange Pie is a light and refreshing dessert perfect for warm days or when you want a quick, easy treat without turning on the oven. Made with orange-flavored gelatin, creamy Cool Whip, and a crunchy graham cracker crust, this pie sets beautifully in the refrigerator, delivering a sweet and tangy flavor with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Gelatin Mixture

  • 1 (3 ounce) box orange Jell-O (regular) or 0.3 ounce sugar-free orange Jell-O
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup very cold water

Pie Filling

  • 8 ounces Cool Whip (or your favorite store-brand whipped topping), completely thawed

Crust

  • 1 premade graham cracker crust (9-inch)

Garnish

  • Dollop of whipped topping
  • Small orange wedge

Instructions

  1. Prepare Gelatin: In a medium-sized bowl, pour the orange Jell-O powder and 1 cup of boiling water. Whisk thoroughly until the gelatin powder is completely dissolved for a smooth mixture.
  2. Add Cold Water: Whisk in 1 cup of very cold water to the gelatin mixture to cool it down and start the setting process.
  3. Incorporate Cool Whip: Add the completely thawed Cool Whip to the gelatin mixture. Whisk for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy with a fluffy texture.
  4. Initial Chill: Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for 40 minutes. Stir the mixture halfway through (after 20 minutes) to ensure even cooling and consistency.
  5. Fill Crust: Scoop the chilled, thickened pie filling into the premade graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
  6. Final Chill and Set: Return the pie to the refrigerator and chill for 4 hours to allow the pie to fully set and develop firm texture.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add a dollop of whipped topping on each slice and garnish with a small orange wedge for a fresh, decorative touch.

Notes

  • Make sure the Cool Whip is completely thawed for easy incorporation and smooth texture.
  • Whisking the gelatin mixture well ensures no lumps remain and the pie sets correctly.
  • Stirring halfway during chilling helps achieve a uniform texture.
  • The sugar-free Jell-O option makes this pie lower in sugar but may slightly affect sweetness level.
  • Allow full refrigeration time for best results; the pie will be too soft if served early.
  • Use a 9-inch graham cracker crust or similarly sized pre-made crust for optimal filling proportions.
