Ingredients
Pie Crust:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter flavored shortening, chilled
- 1/3 cup ice water
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 egg, beaten
Filling:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- Whipped Topping, garnish
- Shredded coconut, garnish
Directions
Chill all ingredients, including the flour and vinegar. Combine the flour, salt and sugar. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles cornmeal. In another bowl, mix water and vinegar with the beaten egg. Add the liquid mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, to the flour mixture, tossing with a fork to form a soft dough.
Filling:
In saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually stir in water. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat, cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Gradually stir 1 cup hot mixture into yolks. Return mixture to saucepan, bring to a gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from stove. Stir in butter, orange peel and orange juice.
Turn into pastry shell. Refrigerate.
Meanwhile prepare next layer by combining cream cheese and powdered sugar until well blended. Beat in the whipped topping until light and fluffy. Spread over orange filling.
Top with whipped topping and sprinkle with shredded coconut as desired. Chill until serving.

No wonder this was a prize winner! Delicious AND refreshing. Not sure about the previous reviewer -- I didn't have any problems. Don't let them deter you. This is a definite keeper.

This looks like it would taste great, and having baked many a pie in my time, I can figure it out, but for inexperienced bakers, there really should be directions as to how to BAKE the crust!
