Binding Ingredient:

Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese with a portion of sweetened condensed milk using an electric mixer until silky and uniform in texture.
- Incorporate a measured amount of cool whip into the cream cheese mixture, stirring until completely integrated and creating a smooth, creamy base.
- Carefully spread this initial layer across the graham cracker crust, ensuring an even distribution that covers the entire bottom surface.

- Whip the orange mixture vigorously with an electric mixer for approximately two minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and develop a harmonious flavor profile.
- Gently fold the remaining cool whip into the orange mixture, creating a light, airy texture that maintains the creamy consistency.
- Delicately spread the orange cream layer atop the initial cream cheese foundation, using a spatula to smooth and level the surface uniformly.
- Seal the pie with its protective cover and transfer to the refrigerator for a minimum of eight hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to fully develop and set.
- Prior to serving, optionally embellish with a delicate swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of additional orange zest for an elegant presentation.
