Prepare the Crust:
Mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl until well combined.
In a 9-inch pie plate, press the mixture firmly into the dish’s bottom and up its edges. While preparing the filling, place in the refrigerator to cool.
Make the Filling:
Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed orange juice, and orange zest in a large mixing bowl.
Beat the chilled heavy cream in a separate bowl until firm peaks form.
Once smooth, gently fold the whipped cream into the orange mixture. Add orange food coloring if you want a vibrant color.
Assemble the Pie:
Evenly distribute the orange cream mixture across the cooled graham cracker crust as you pour it in.
Freeze the Pie:
To make the pie firm, freeze it for at least six hours or overnight, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Serve:
Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for a few minutes to allow it to soften somewhat.
Garnish with whipped cream, orange slices, and orange zest if desired.
