Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the dry Tang, sour cream, sweetened condensed milk, and half of the Cool Whip in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a prepared pie crust.
- Top the pie with the remaining Cool Whip.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider folding in whipped egg whites before pouring the mixture into the pie crust. If you don't have Tang, orange drink mix or another flavored powder can be used as a substitute. For a twist, add a splash of vanilla extract or a hint of citrus zest. Ensure the sour cream is at room temperature for better mixing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Tang Pie chilled, garnished with fresh fruit like orange slices or berries for added color and flavor. It pairs beautifully with a light salad or savory snacks such as cheese and crackers. This pie also makes an excellent ending to a summer barbecue or picnic meal.

Cover any leftover pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 3 days. To enjoy later, simply serve cold directly from the fridge; there's no need to reheat this pie, as it's best enjoyed chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Eagle Brand?
Yes, if you're looking for a lighter option, you can use regular sweetened condensed milk or even a non-dairy version to accommodate dietary restrictions. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly.
What type of pie crust works best for this recipe?
A graham cracker crust is a great choice, as it adds a nice crunch and complements the flavors of the pie. Alternatively, a traditional pie crust can be used if you prefer a flakier base.
Is it possible to make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! This pie can be made a day in advance, making it perfect for gatherings. Just ensure it's well covered and stored in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
