Ingredients
  

For the pie crust
  • 1 package graham cracker crust Store bought or homemade
For the filling
  • 1 small box orange Jell-O
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water or orange juice Use orange juice for extra flavor
  • 1 small box vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1-2 teaspoons orange zest Optional for added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, stir the orange Jell-O into the boiling water until it is totally dissolved, about 1 minute.
  2. Stir in the cold water or cold orange juice and let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
  4. Whisk the cooled orange Jell-O mixture into the pudding until combined.
  5. Fold in the whipped topping gently until the mixture is evenly pale orange.
  6. Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top.
  7. Chill the pie in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.

Notes

Chilling the pie for the full time is crucial for firm slices. Do not rush the chilling process in the freezer as it can affect the texture. Cover the pie well for storage to prevent it from picking up fridge smells.
