Instructions
How to Make No-Bake Creamsicle Cheesecake
- In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Golden Oreos with melted butter and a pinch of kosher salt. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a solid base.
- Dissolve the orange Jell-O in boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly before using.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is just combined.
- Gradually pour the cooled Jell-O into the cream cheese mixture, stirring gently to combine without deflating the fluffy filling.
- Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or until completely set.
- When ready to enjoy, top with additional whipped topping and garnish with fresh fruit or chocolate shavings. Cut into slices and serve chilled.
Notes
For an added flavor burst, sprinkle some orange zest on top before serving.
