Ever need to make a dessert ahead of time? This is an ideal recipe for that purpose. It is creamy smooth straight out of the freezer with plenty of orange citrus flavor punch that reminds me of one of my favorite ice cream treats as a child. A great idea would be to make two of these at a time; one to enjoy now and one to have on hand as a last minute dessert rescue for unexpected dinner guests.

Mix together



2 cups  cookie crumbs ( graham crumbs, vanilla wafer crumbs or digestive biscuit crumbs all will work well)

1/2 cup melted butter
2 tbsp sugar



Press into the bottom and sides of  a 9 or 10 inch pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Set aside to cool.
