Preparation
What kind of crust for creamsicle pie recipe?
This recipe calls for a simple vanilla wafer pie crust, but you could also use a graham cracker crust (homemade or store bought), or even our traditional pie crust recipe.
If you use a traditional crust, make sure to bake it completely and allow it to cool before filling.
Can I make this with a regular pie crust?
Absolutely! Make sure to bake the crust completely before adding pie filling since the filling does not get baked. This easy pie crust recipe would work perfectly.
Can you make a no-bake orange creamsicle pie ahead of time?
You can prepare this in advance and store in the freezer. After pie has set wrap tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of foil.
For best results, garnish immediately before serving.
You want the sherbet to be softened but not fully melted. Make sure to gently fold in the whipped topping at the end.
Storage and leftovers
How long does a creamsicle pie recipe last?
Leftovers can be stored for up to about a week. Store in the freezer in an air tight freezer safe container.
Can you freeze orange creamsicle pie?
Yes, this pie should be kept in the freezer. If you are preparing the pie ahead and double wrapping it tightly (first in plastic wrap and then in foil) it should keep for up to 3 months.
Leftovers that have begun thawing and been refrozen are best if eaten within a week or so.
Frequently asked questions
Why isn’t my no bake pie firm?
Make sure you’re allowing time for the dish to set completely. If you remove it from the freezer too soon it will be runny.
Is orange creamsicle pie gluten free?
The filling for this recipe is gluten free so as long as you use a gluten-free graham cracker crust, and gluten free pie garnishes it is a gluten-free recipe.

This was perfect, it brought me back to my childhood with the orange creamsicle flavor and it did not disappoint.

So easy and so refreshing! Even better than a creamsicle because it has crust instead of a stick. 🙂 I can’t wait to try it with other flavors of sherbet!
