A little vintage flair, a whole lot of flavour. This no-bake pie is sunshine in a crust.

That nostalgic orange creamsicle flavour you know and love? It just found its way into a pie. And it’s as fun and flavourful as it sounds. Created by Maude MacDonald (aka The Retro Quilter), this no-bake Tang Pie Remix is bold, creamy, and packed with citrusy-sweet flavour in every bite.

Known for her retro pattern designs and a true vintage enthusiast, Maude is now bringing her signature retro flair into the kitchen, and we’re here for it. At Hedessent, we are all about helping unlock creativity with food and making it easy to put your own spin on things. And that’s exactly what Maude did with her Tang Pie Remix.

Using a custom blend of our Orange, Mandarin Orange, and Vanilla Ice Cream Flavours, Maude easily recreated that signature creamsicle vibe. Just a few drops go a long way, delivering concentrated flavour with minimal effort and a whole lot of fun. The result? A no-bake pie that’s creamy, fluffy, and full of nostalgic joy.

Easy to make (hello, no oven), packed with personality, and wildly customizable, this recipe proves that creativity doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re a diehard baker, a playful enthusiast, or—like many of us—just love a simple yet irresistibly delicious dessert, this one’s worth a spot in your summer recipe rotation.
