Description

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 C crushed graham crackers (crushed nilla waffers, gingersnaps or other collection of crackers)
• 1/4 C sugar
• 6 oz. butter, melted
• 1 (8 oz.) block cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 C Sour Cream
• 2/3 C sugar
• 3/4 tsp vanilla
• 1 C Heavy Cream
• 2 (15 oz) cans DOLE mandarin oranges

Directions

• Mix together the crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a bag until well combined.
• Press the crumbs into a 9 inch pie pan.
• You can either freeze the crust or cook it. It holds together BETTER if its cooked, but will work either way.
• If baking - preheat oven to 375, bake for 7 mins and let cool completely
• Drain the mandarin oranges and place on a a paper towel dry slightly
• Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until smooth.
• In another bowl whip the heavy whipping cream until medium to stiff peaks form
• Then gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture
• Cut up half of the mandarin oranges (1 cans worth) and stir into the mixture
• Plop and spread into the pie pan (you might have a little filling let over, I did, depending on the pie pan size you use)
• Place the rest of the mandarin oranges over the top of the pie, freeze for 3-4 hours.
• Take out 15 mins prior to serving, cut and enjoy!
