NO BAKE ORANGE CREAMSICLE CHEESECAKE AUGUST 10, 2017

Please See Other Recipes

Raise your hand if you’re a citrus lover like me!! I just LOVE cooking and baking with just about anything citrus, especially in the summertime. I’ve been thinking about this No Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake for the last several summers – I haven’t made it in years, and it’s an old favorite recipe of mine I just knew I had to share it with you soon. That day has finally arrived!
This No Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake got its name because it reminds me of those deliciously orange-y and creamy ice cream treats I used to enjoy as a child (anyone else??). It’s got an ultra creamy, smooth texture that’s almost similar to a baked cheesecake (minus all the work!) and it’s perfectly sweet and tangy with a strong orange flavor. It’s truly one of the most perfect desserts for the summertime!

Ingredients

For the crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
4 tablespoons melted butter
For the cheesecake:
1 small box orange Jello (the 4-serving box, 85 grams)
2/3 cup boiling water
900 grams cream cheese (approximately 32 ounces)
1/3 cup powdered sugar
zest of one large orange
2 cups whipped cream
For garnish:
orange zest
whipped cream

Instructions

Combine the graham cracker crumbs and the melted butter in a bowl and press them into the bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan.
Chill the crust in the freezer until ready to use.
Add the orange Jello powder to the boiling water and stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Whip the cream cheese and the powdered sugar until well combined.
