- – ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- – 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- – 1 cup powdered sugar
- – 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- – 1 cup fresh orange juice
- – Zest of 1 orange
- – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- – 1 envelope (about 2 tablespoons) unflavored gelatin
- – 2 tablespoons cold water

- Creating No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake is straightforward with these easy steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined.
- Add the heavy whipping cream, fresh orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. Then, gently heat it in the microwave for about 10 seconds until dissolved.
- Slowly pour the gelatin mixture into the cheesecake mixture, stirring until well incorporated.
- Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to set.
- Once set, carefully remove the sides from the springform pan.
- Top with additional orange slices or zest for a decorative touch before serving.
