This recipe may tempt you to skip supper and go straight to dessert! It was passed from my grandmother to my mom and is now a favorite of mine...as well as my husband's-he can't get enough of it! I often double the recipe, since it never lasts long.

Number Of Ingredients 15

CRUST:
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
FILLING:
3/4 cup cold whole milk
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
GLAZE:
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, juice drained and reserved

Steps:

  • Combine crust ingredients and press into an 8-in. square pan. Chill. For filling, combine milk, ice cream and orange zest in a bowl. Add pudding mix, beating slowly with rotary beater or at lowest speed of a mixer until well blended. Pour over crust. Chill until set, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, for glaze, combine cornstarch, sugar, orange juice, lemon juice and reserved mandarin orange juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Arrange oranges on top of filling. Spoon glaze over top. Chill until set.
