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!

If you’ve been a reader of mine for the last year or so you’ll notice that I’ve been sharing lots of my favorite no bake cheesecake recipes with you – my Kiwi Lime No Bake Cheesecake, my Simple No Bake Cheesecake, my Easy No Bake Nutella Cheesecake and this Easy No Bake Snickers Cheesecake were all BIG hits with you, my lovely readers, and since it’s clear that you all love no bake cheesecake as much as I do I can’t help but keep sharing them!

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. 

Add the Jello mixture to the cream cheese mixture slowly, mixing continuously until everything is incorporated.

Gently fold in the orange zest and the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until combined and pour the mixture into the chilled graham cracker crust. 

Chill the cheesecake overnight to set and serve with some additional whipped cream and citrus zest for garnish.

Recipe Notes

To help the cheesecake set a little more quickly, add it to the freezer for the first 2 hours of chilling, then remove it to the fridge for an additional 12-18 hours until set.
