As a chocolate lover, I created this creamy chocolate and orange pie to satisfy my cravings, says Shelly Platten of Amherst, Wisconsin. When I served it to friends, they immediately polished off one piece and asked for seconds.
Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup sour cream
2 drops yellow food coloring, optional
1 drop red food coloring, optional
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 chocolate crumb crust (9 inches)
1 can (15 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
1 teaspoon shortening
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in the milk, orange juice concentrate, sour cream and food coloring if desired until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon half into crust. Set eight mandarin orange segments aside. Arrange remaining oranges over filling. Top with remaining filling and reserved oranges.
2. In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Cool slightly; drizzle over pie. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Yield: 6-8 servings.
