Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups (300g) Vanilla Wafer Crumbs Finely pulsed
  • 1/2 cup (115g) Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 6 oz (170g) Orange Gelatin 2 boxes (3oz each)
  • 1 cup (240ml) Boiling Water
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate Thawed but cold
  • 2 cups (480ml) Heavy Whipping Cream Divided use
  • 1/2 cup (60g) Powdered Sugar
  • 1 whole Navel Orange For zest and slices

Equipment

  • 1 9-inch springform pan Or deep-dish pie plate
  • 1 Microplane For fine orange zest flakes
  • 1 Piping bag and star tip For the whipped cream swirl

Method
 

Prepare the Foundation
  1. Mix vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pan using a flat cup to create a compressed golden cookie crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. Whisk orange gelatin into boiling water for 2 minutes until fully dissolved with no granules remaining.
  3. Stir in the cold orange juice concentrate until combined. Let sit at room temperature until slightly thickened.
  4. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks and fold into the orange mixture until a vibrant pastel orange color is achieved. Pour into the crust and chill for 4-6 hours.
  5. Whip remaining cream with powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Pipe a large swirl onto the pie. Top with a fresh orange slice and fine orange zest flakes.

Notes

Ensure the gelatin is completely dissolved to avoid a grainy texture.
Use cold orange concentrate to speed up the setting process.
