Orange Mousse Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 refrigerated pie crust
1 (3 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
3/4 cup orange juice
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 cups whipping cream
2 large oranges, chopped, drained (2 cups)

Preparation

Preheat oven and bake pie crust according to package directions. Allow to cool completely.
Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix gelatin and orange juice; let stand 1 minute. Cook and stir over medium heat until dissolved.
In small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and orange peel with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add softened gelatin; blend well.
Refrigerate until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
In large bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into orange mixture; gently fold in chopped oranges.
Spoon into crust. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Garnish with additional orange peel, if desired.
Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
