Here’s a fun and easy no-bake orange creamsicle cheesecake recipe that tastes just like the classic treat:
Ingredients (for 8 servings)
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup orange juice (preferably fresh)
- 1 tbsp orange zest
For the topping (optional):
- Whipped cream
- Orange zest or thin orange slices
Instructions
- Make the crust:
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
- Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
- Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling:
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla, orange juice, and orange zest, and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble the cheesecake:
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve:
- Top with extra whipped cream and orange zest or slices if desired.
- Slice and enjoy a creamy, citrusy dessert!
💡 Tips:
- For extra creamsicle flavor, you can swirl in a few tablespoons of melted white chocolate.
- You can use mandarin oranges for a sweeter twist.
- If you want firmer slices, freeze for 1 hour before serving.
I can also give a mini cheesecake cup version that’s perfect for single servings and doesn’t need a springform pan. Do you want that?
