  • Author: Julien Moreau
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– Zest of 1 large orange
– Juice of 1 large orange
– 2 tablespoons gelatin (dissolved in ¼ cup cold water)


Instructions

Making No Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake is as easy as 1-2-3! Follow these steps to create this delicious dessert:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
2. Blend Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Incorporate Orange: Add the orange zest and orange juice to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until everything is combined.
4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate it.
5. Prepare the Gelatin: In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in cold water and let it sit for a couple of minutes until it thickens. Then, heat in the microwave for about 10 seconds or until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before adding to the cheesecake mixture.
6. Combine and Mix: Fold the gelatin mixture into the cheesecake filling, ensuring it is well-distributed throughout.
7. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
8. Chill the Cheesecake: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
9. Remove from Pan: Once set, carefully run a knife around the edge of the springform pan before releasing the sides. This helps prevent sticking.
10. Garnish: Optionally, you can decorate the top with additional orange zest, whipped cream, or even fresh orange slices before serving.

By following these instructions, you will create a stunning No Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake that everyone will enjoy!
