This Orange Cream Tart is creamy, tangy and so refreshing. It’s a summer winner!
Looking for a ridiculously easy, refreshing, tangy dessert for your 4th of July shindig this year?
Look no further guys. This Orange Cream Tart is all that and more!
This tart has a tasty graham cracker crust that takes just minutes to make. But if you’re pressed for time you can make things even easier by using a store-bought graham cracker crust.
The filling requires only 4 ingredients and it’s so creamy and smooth. It’s a simple combination of sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, undiluted frozen orange juice concentrate that’s been thawed and some freshly grated orange zest. I mean how easy is that?
I decided to top this Orange Cream Tart with fresh white chocolate shavings. I’ve also made it topped with fresh whipped cream. Either option is super yummy!
Hope you folks add this to your 4th of July dessert table. Enjoy!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Orange Cream Tart Recipe:
As mentioned above you can opt to make the homemade crust or use a store-bought one.
You can freeze the tart for 2 hours so it firms up and is easier to slice. You can also freeze for longer and remove from the freezer 15 minutes or so before slicing and serving.

I looooove orange creamsicles, and this tart is totally giving me those vibes!! Our big plans for the holiday include lounging at our pool since nothing around here is really open yet. And not obviously this tart will be making an appearance! Can’t wait to make this and not have to share! ;) Pinned!
Lol! Hope you and Jeremy enjoy it poolside Chey! Thanks for pinning!

I love citrus in sweet and this looks absolutely perfect, Mary Ann! Wish I could cut out the slice (or grab the whole tart ;) ) Pinned!
Thanks so much Dawn!
I love that this requires so few ingredients Mary Ann! And the orange is a nice way to change up summer desserts from the usual berries!
So easy Leanne. And so refreshing!
5 STARS. I used miniature puff pastry tartlets. I filled them with the creamsicle filling with a dollop of coolwhip on top. My grandson said, “When you go to heaven, the first thing they do is give you one of these.”
Awwww! That’s so awesome to hear Patty! I love that you used the mini tartlets! Great idea. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment! Happy Sunday!
