Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Tang with Eagle Brand milk until the Tang is dissolved.
- Add sour cream and Cool Whip, then mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a graham cracker pie crust.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a bit of citrus zest to the mixture. If you prefer a lighter texture, substitute half of the sour cream with whipped cream or Cool Whip. For a twist, you can use flavored yogurt instead of sour cream for added creaminess. Always ensure the Tang is fully dissolved to avoid any graininess in your pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Tang Pie as a refreshing dessert on warm days or alongside summer gatherings. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries for a pop of color and flavor. Consider serving it with a side of whipped cream for added indulgence. This dessert is a great complement to dishes like Sausage Egg Casserole at brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Tang Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's best served chilled, so you can enjoy it straight from the fridge. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change once thawed. If you want to serve it later, simply slice and plate it directly from the fridge.
