Featuring a graham cracker crust and a creamy filling infused with orange jello and whipped cream, it’s a perfect refreshing summer dessert that requires no baking.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups Graham Cracker crumbs (about 14 sheets)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt

Orange Jello Mixture

  • 1 (3 ounce) box orange jello
  • 1 cup boiling water

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 (8 ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided (1 cup for cream cheese, 1/2 cup for whipped cream)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 orange (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the orange jello: In a heat-proof bowl, whisk together the orange jello powder and boiling water until fully dissolved. Set aside and let it cool completely for about 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the pan and crust: Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to set.
  3. Make the cream cheese mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest until stiff peaks form.
  5. Combine mixtures: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Then fold the remaining whipped cream into the cooled orange jello mixture.
  6. Assemble the cheesecake: Alternate spooning layers of the cream cheese mixture and the jello mixture into the prepared crust. Use a butter knife to swirl the layers gently for a marbled effect.
  7. Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely set.
  8. Serve: Remove the sides of the springform pan. Optionally, pipe dollops of whipped cream around the edges and garnish with orange slices. Slice and enjoy your creamy, fruity no-bake orange creamsicle cheesecake!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Whisk the orange jello powder with boiling water thoroughly until fully dissolved and allow it to cool completely before folding into the whipped cream to prevent curdling.
  • Whip the heavy cream cold in a chilled bowl for the best, most stable stiff peaks to help maintain the cheesecake’s texture.
  • If you prefer stronger orange flavor, adding the zest of one orange is optional but recommended.
  • Use a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment for easy removal and a clean edge.
