No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake

— PIN THIS RECIPE —

As much as I love a good classic cheesecake, I also appreciate the ease of a no-bake cheesecake. I have quite a few variations on my blog (you’ll find them linked below). Today, I’m adding this No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake to the dessert file!

This Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake combines a childhood favorite – creamsicles, along with the creamy, dreamy cheesecake. You couldn’t ask for a better pairing. Especially since this is a no-bake treat!

I know summer is mostly over for everyone else (not in Phoenix!), but this isn’t one of those desserts that needs to be limited to a certain time of the year – it’s perfect any time!

It’s best to make this cheesecake the day before you want to serve it so it has time to set up completely. You will need at least 4 hours of chill time, but 6-8 hours is better. Overnight is the best amount of time in my opinion.

For this cheesecake, you will start with a cookie crumb base. You’ll need to let it chill out in the fridge for about 30 minutes or so. Next, you’ll mix up the no-bake cheesecake, then the orange mixture. You’ll add a whipped cream mixture to both the cheesecake and orange mixture before layering them both into the prepared crust. The No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake will have to hang out in the fridge again for about 8 hours, or overnight, to set up completely.

Although it sounds complicated, I assure you it’s not! 😉

Recipe Notes

You may be able to enjoy your cheesecake at the 4-hour minimum chill time - but I think 8 hours to overnight is better.
