Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 orange

⅓ cup fresh orange juice

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon gelatin (optional, for extra firmness)

2 tablespoons cold water (if using gelatin)

Orange slices and whipped cream for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

    Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.

      Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and fresh orange juice, mixing until well combined and fluffy.

        Incorporate the Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream. Mix until there are no visible streaks.

          (Optional) Prepare Gelatin: If using gelatin for extra firmness, sprinkle it over the cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then, heat the mixture gently until the gelatin is dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly before folding it into the cheesecake mixture.

            Combine Together: Carefully fold in the dissolved gelatin (if using), ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake filling.

              Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top gently and tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

                Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.

                  Serve: Once set, carefully release the springform pan. Garnish the top with whipped cream and orange slices as desired. Slice and enjoy your refreshing No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake!
