Fruity, creamy and delicious this Mandarin Orange Pie is a no-bake dessert recipe that we crave at the holidays and potlucks!

Mandarin Orange Pie Recipe

Also known as Mandarin Orange Icebox Pie and Pig Pickin’ Pie this, cream pie dessert with mandarin oranges and crushed pineapple is memorable! Very similar to the icing on our Pineapple Orange Cake the flavors are bright and creamy.

Our Mandarin Orange Pie Recipe is chilled and perfect for hot days when you don’t want to get weighed down by something heavy.

Although this no-bake pie is made without jello it reminds me or our Orange Delight recipe and the frosting on our Orange Jello Cake.

The sweet fruit flavors play so well with the instant vanilla pudding and are made creamy by the sour cream and fluffier by the Cool Whip. Whether you pour this concoction into a pie crust or serve as pudding with an angel food cake it’s so delicious!

Ingredients Needed:

• Sour Cream – Makes the filling extra creamy with a subtle tang.
• Instant Vanilla Pudding – Regular works great, or use sugar-free for a lighter version. One large box or two small boxes both work.
• Crushed Pineapple – Choose pineapple packed in natural juice, and don’t drain it. The juice helps dissolve the pudding mix.
• Mandarin Oranges – Use a can in lite juice and drain well. A larger can leaves extras for garnishing each slice.
• Cool Whip – Or any store-brand whipped topping. Thaw it first, then gently fold it in until smooth.
• Graham Cracker Crust – The easiest way to serve our old fashioned mandarin orange pie, though it also makes a great dip to enjoy with graham crackers too.

How to Make Pig Pickin Pie

In a medium sized mixing bowl stir together drained mandarin oranges, sour cream, instant pudding mix and undrained pineapple.

Then add whipped topping and fold in.

Continually scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.

Fold the spatula into the center of the mixture gently and repeatedly until everything is the same color.

Pour into a pie crust and garnish with extra slices on mandarin oranges.

If using a purchased crust turn the plastic liner on top upside down. The inverted lid serves as a cover for the pie.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Taste best chilled!
