Method
Prepare the Crust
- Combine vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Place the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
Make the Filling
- Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in orange juice concentrate.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped heavy cream until a smooth, matte pastel orange filling forms.
- Pour filling into crust and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Decorate
- Whip remaining heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Pipe swirls around the perimeter.
- Top each swirl with a fresh orange slice and sprinkle the entire pie with fine orange zest.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is truly room temperature to avoid lumps.
Use cold heavy cream for the stiffest piped swirls.
