Ok, today I had decided to treat everyone to: Dreamsicle Pie! Memories of ice cream, hot days and childhood. Who didn't like dreamsicles? I can't remember a single person who didn't consider it a favorite. I remember eating them as a treat after a long day at camp in the summers. Hope you enjoy my special recipe for a special group of people and my favorite guy. If you want to make it low calorie (substitute FAT free for regular) and low sugar (use sugar free) rather than regular. This dessert can be made for almost any dietary restriction. Ingredients:
1 6 oz. Pkg of Orange Jello *Dissolve in 1 cup of Hot Water only*
2 (6 oz.) Packages Cream Cheese * very soft*
1 Can 14 oz. Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 small cans (4 oz) Mandarin oranges or 3 TBSP's Orange Peel
1 12oz. Container Cool Whip
1 Small Box of graham cracker crumbs
Line a 13X9 inch pan with graham cracker crumbs, 1 stick of melted butter and 2 tbsps of sugar.
Push down with a glass to make a crust bottom.
- Mix together in a separate bowl
- 1 6 oz. package of Orange Jello, Oranges(drained well) or orange peel
- 1 Cup Boiling Water *Stir till well dissolved*
- Add Creme Cheese * Mix with Mixer into Orange jello, oranges and hot water till very well dissolved and creamy*
- Add the 12 oz. container of Cool Whip *Mix with Mixer till well blended together*

The picture is of the inspiration for the pie. One of my blooms for today inspired me to do something different and pretty (sort of like it is).
Hope you enjoy!
