Ingredients

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed, if possible)

Zest of 1 orange

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp gelatin powder (optional, for firmness)

For the topping:

½ cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

Orange slices and zest for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the crust:

- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it is evenly spread and compacted. Set aside in the refrigerator while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

Make the cheesecake filling:

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

- Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated and fluffy.

- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

- Add the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. If using gelatin, dissolve it in 2 tablespoons of hot water and add it to the mixture. Mix until smooth.

Assemble the cheesecake:

- Pour the cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.

- Smooth the top and tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.

Serve:

- Once set, run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake and carefully release the springform pan.

- Top with whipped cream and garnish with orange slices and additional orange zest for a refreshing look.

- Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake!
