Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake need to set?
This No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best. This ensures the filling is perfectly firm and sliceable for serving.
Can I use bottled orange juice instead of fresh?
We recommend fresh orange juice and zest for the brightest, most authentic creamsicle flavor. Bottled juice often lacks the vibrant citrus punch needed for this No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Keep any leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze individual slices tightly wrapped for up to a month.
