Orange Creamsicle Pie
This Orange Creamsicle Pie is such a delightful summer treat. It is light in texture and has such a refreshing flavor.
Summer has been crazy over here in my neck of the woods. I am down to the final 4-5 weeks of this pregnancy and we are anxiously preparing and anticipating baby girl getting here. There is still so much to do but I’m hopeful I will be able to get everything done ;)
In the meantime, we have had several family reunions and gatherings in the past month. Good food is always a must when my family gets together and this Orange Creamsicle Pie was a perfect addition to the menu! It is light and fluffy in texture and has such a refreshing delicious flavor. The vanilla wafer crust is perfection and pairs perfectly with the creamy pie.
If you need a great summertime treat, give this one a try! It is sure to be a hit!

Is it lemon zest or orange zest? You list lemon zest as an ingredient yet reference orange zest in the instructions.
