This No-Bake Creamsicle Cheesecake perfectly combines creamy vanilla and tangy orange flavors in a luscious marbled dessert. With a graham cracker crust and a smooth, airy filling, it’s a refreshing treat that requires no oven and impresses with its vibrant colors and delightful taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • Orange food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to allow it to set properly.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  4. Divide the Mixture: Split the cream cheese filling evenly into two bowls. To one bowl, add the orange juice and orange zest, mixing well. Optionally, add a few drops of orange food coloring to enhance the orange hue.
  5. Layer the Mixtures: Spoon the orange-flavored filling into the prepared crust, then add dollops of the vanilla filling on top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the two mixtures gently to create a beautiful marbled effect.
  6. Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight, allowing it to set firmly for easy slicing.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice into portions and serve chilled, optionally garnishing with additional orange zest for extra brightness and aroma.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Do not overmix when folding in the whipped cream to maintain a light texture.
  • For best flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh orange zest.
  • Refrigerate overnight if possible for the cleanest slices and best set texture.
  • Orange food coloring is optional and purely for visual appeal.
