Easy Strawberry Creamsicle Pie

I hardly ever make desserts. And for good reason, too. My track record with doing anything even remotely picture-worthy for dessert is poor to say the least. Fortunately, though, this isn’t a bigtime fancy food blog. So I can get by posting a pic of my easy strawberry creamsicle pie and not worry about it not being perfect. But I will say, it hit the spot. I loved this pie. I could eat this pie every day. It’s creamy smooth. It has fantastic strawberry flavor. And it’s way, way easy to make.

Sugar Or Sugar-Free

I watch my carb intake, so I went the mostly sugar-free route when I made this easy strawberry creamsicle pie. I used sugar-free Jell-o and Cool Whip. There are still carbs in the crust and the strawberries. You can go with using fully loaded Jell-O and Cool Whip instead. Whichever way you prefer. Either is perfectly fine.

Easy Orange Creamsicle Pie

I hardly ever make desserts. My track record with doing anything even remotely picture-worthy for dessert is really bad. Fortunately, though, this isn’t some high-falutin’ fancy food blog. So I can get by posting a pic of my easy orange creamsicle pie and still sleep just fine at night. Nope, it’s not really pretty. But boy, did it ever hit the spot. I loved this pie. I could eat this pie every day. It’s creamy smooth. And orange-y. And way, way easy. Which I need.

Sugar. Or Sugar-Free. Great Either Way.

I have to watch my carb intake, so I went the mostly sugar-free route when I made this easy orange creamsicle pie. For me that meant using sugar-free Jell-o and Cool Whip. Of course, there are still carbs in the crust and the mandarin orange slices. You can go with using fully loaded Jell-O and Cool Whip instead. Whichever you prefer.

Variations

My first thought when I bit into this was ‘yummy’. My second was ‘strawberry’. Yes, next time I’m making a strawberry version of this pie. Or blueberry. There are lots of great Jell-O flavors that would make for great creamsicle pies!
