Betty's Orange-Vanilla Ice Cream Pie

Betty demonstrates how to make Orange-Vanilla Frozen Pie. This recipe is from J.M. Hirsch, the food editor for The Associated Press. This pie will remind you of the flavor of Creamsicles!
ORANGE-VANILLA ICE CREAM PIE
Start to finish: 20 minutes active (plus several hours freezing)
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups orange sherbet
1 cup orange soda
1 prepared graham cracker pie shell (1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, 6 ½ tablespoons melted butter, combined and pressed into 9-inch pie dish, then baked at 375 (F) for 7 minutes)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Zest of 1 orange
In a blender, combine the ice cream, sherbet and orange soda. Blend until smooth, stopping the blender and stirring the mixture as needed to ensure it blends evenly. Pour the mixture into the pie shell, then carefully transfer to the freezer. Freeze for several hours, or until firm.
When ready to serve, in a large bowl combine the cream, extract and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer to whip on high until the cream holds firm peaks. Fold in the orange zest, then mound the whipped cream over the ice cream pie. Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, or until thawed just enough to easily slice.
