ORANGE MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven and bake pie crust according to package directions. Allow to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix gelatin and orange juice; let stand 1 minute. Cook and stir over medium heat until dissolved.
• In small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and orange peel with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add softened gelatin; blend well.
• Refrigerate until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
• In large bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into orange mixture; gently fold in chopped oranges.
• Spoon into crust. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Garnish with additional orange peel, if desired.
• Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.

ORANGE MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 450°. Once you have softened one pie crust according to package directions and placed into a 9" glass pie plate, bake crust for 15 minutes. Use a pie crust weight (I use white rice, poured into foil, to loosely line the crust), or prick the pie crust, so it doesn't bow up while baking. COOL COMPLETELY. Also make sure the pie plate itself is completely cool, so the heat doesn't merge up thru the crust and is then trapped under the filling once you pour it in. It will ruin your crust, if it's not completely cool.
• 2. In a 1-qt. saucepan, mix unflavored gelatin and orange juice. Allow to stand for 1 - 2 minutes.
• 3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and orange zest with an electric mixer on med. speed, until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
• 4. After gelatin/orange juice have stood to soften for a couple of minutes, cook over med. heat, until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool. NOTE: at this point, I set the pan of hot gelatin/orange juice into an ice-water bath, and stir it every couple of minutes, so it will not be too hot when I pour it into the cream cheese mixture, in step 5.
• 5. After the softened/cooked gelatin & orange juice mixture is somewhat cooled (tepid to the touch), blend it into the cream cheese mixture, using the hand mixer. Refrigerate until slightly thickened, about 10 mins.
• 6. Fold the thawed cool whip into the orange mixture; gently fold in chopped oranges, making sure to mix it well.
• 7. Spoon all of this into the COMPLETELY COOLED crust.
• 8. Refrigerate until firm, about an hour, or more, if necessary. Garnish with orange peel curls (optional).
