Equipment

  • 1 Electric Hand Mixer

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Combine vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture looks like wet sand.
  2. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze for 15 minutes to set.
Make the Filling
  1. Whisk orange gelatin into boiling water. Stir in orange juice and zest. Let cool slightly.
  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Slowly beat in the gelatin mixture.
  3. Whip 1/2 cup cream to stiff peaks and gently fold into the orange base. Pour into crust.
Set and Decorate
  1. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours until the filling is firm and matte.
  2. Whip remaining cream to fluffy peaks. Top the pie and garnish with orange slices and mint.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is completely room temperature to avoid lumps in the matte filling.
Use a hot knife to cut clean slices of the chilled pie.
