  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cups cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– ½ cup orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
– 1 tablespoon orange zest
– 1 tablespoon gelatin (optional, for firmer texture)
– 2 tablespoons water (to bloom gelatin)
– Fresh orange slices, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
3. Add Orange Flavors: Gradually add the orange juice and orange zest to the cream cheese mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
4. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
5. Add Gelatin (Optional): If desired for a firmer cheesecake, dissolve the gelatin in warm water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. Stir it into the filling mixture gently.
6. Fill the Pan: Spoon the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4-5 hours or overnight until set.
8. Unmold: Once set, run a knife around the edges to loosen. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
9. Garnish: Top with fresh orange slices if desired for an added touch of elegance.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut into slices and enjoy!

Creating this cheesecake is straightforward. Each step leads you closer to a delightful dessert that will steal the spotlight at any gathering.
