Mandarin Pie


This no-bake pie is really good. It tastes just like an orange dreamsicle. The little bit of chocolate drizzled over the top is the perfect finishing touch. After all, who doesn't like dreamsicles?

1 pkg. (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup sour cream
2 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
1 drop red food coloring (optional)
1 (8 oz) tub cool whip, thawed
1 prepared chocolate crumb crust (9 inch)
1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 square (1 oz) unsweetened chocolate
1 tsp. crisco

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add milk, orange juice concentrate, sour cream and food coloring. Beat until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip with a rubber spatula. Spoon half of mixture into crust. Set 8 mandarin orange slices aside for garnish. Arrange remaining oranges over filling. Top with remaining filling and garnish with reserved oranges. In microwave, heat chocolate square and crisco for 30 seconds or until melted. Stir and drizzle over finished pie. Chill pie for at least 4 hours before serving.
