No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

CRUST: You can substitute boxed graham cracker crumbs in the crust if you can’t find vanilla wafers or prefer the taste of graham crackers.

WHIPPED CREAM: You could replace the homemade whipped cream with Cool Whip to make preparation even easier.

How To Make This No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake Recipe

Let’s get started creating each irresistible layer of this scrumptious dessert.

For The Crust

STEP ONE: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed vanilla wafers, the granulated sugar, and the melted butter.

Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. 

STEP TWO: Firmly press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Place the crust into the freezer while preparing the rest of the cake.

For The Whipped Cream (for both layers)

STEP ONE: Using either a stand mixer with a whip attachment or a large bowl and a handheld mixer, combine the heavy cream, ½ teaspoon clear vanilla flavoring, and powdered sugar.

Whip the heavy cream mixture on high until stiff peaks form. 

STEP TWO: Divide the whipped cream mixture evenly into two small mixing bowls.

For The Orange Layer

STEP ONE: In a small bowl, stir to combine the ¾ cup boiling water, orange-flavored jello, and the orange zest.

Stir until the jello has dissolved. Set aside to cool completely.

STEP TWO: Once the jello mixture is cooled, carefully fold in half of the whipped cream set aside for the jello mixture.

Reserve ½ cup of the jello cream to make the center jello swirl.

For The Cheesecake Layer

STEP ONE: Using a medium bowl and an electric mixer, set on medium-high, beat the blocks of cream cheese for 1 to 1½ minutes.

Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the granulated sugar and clear vanilla flavoring.

Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue to mix the cream cheese mixture until it is smooth, about 1½ minutes.

Be sure to use a spatula to scrape down the side of the bowl. Set aside.

STEP TWO: Fold half of the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture. Reserve ¾ cup to swirl with the orange jello layer for the center.

Creamsicle Cake Assembly

STEP ONE: Remove the crust from the freezer. Evenly spread the cheesecake layer over the crust, leaving the ¾ cup reserved for the swirl. Set it aside. 

STEP TWO: Using a small spoon, dollop spoonfuls of the ½ cup reserved orange cream randomly on top of the cheesecake layer. 

STEP THREE: Use a fork to swirl the orange dollops into the bottom cheesecake layer.

STEP FOUR: Spread the reserved ¾ cup cheesecake on top of the orange swirls.

STEP FIVE: Evenly spread the remaining orange mixture over the remaining cheesecake layer.

Place in the refrigerator for at least six hours to overnight to completely set.

STEP SIX: Once the orange creamsicle cake is firmly set and the cake is still in the springform pan, carefully run a sharp knife along the inside of the pan.

This will help the cake release from the pan.
