Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the filling:
- 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 (3 oz) box orange Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 tsp orange zest (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For garnish (optional):
- Whipped cream
- Orange slices or zest
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
2️⃣ Dissolve the Jell-O:
In a small bowl, add the orange Jell-O powder and pour in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature (but not set).
3️⃣ Make the filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the cooled Jell-O mixture, vanilla extract, and orange zest if using. Beat until fully combined.
4️⃣ Whip the cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
5️⃣ Assemble:
Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set (overnight is best).
6️⃣ Serve:
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with whipped cream, fresh orange slices, or extra zest if desired. Slice, serve, and enjoy this creamy citrus treat!
