Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
  • 1 (3 oz) box orange jello mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 tbsp orange zest (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

  • springform pan 9-inch
  • mixing bowls
  • hand mixer or stand mixer
  • whisk
  • spatula

Method
 

  1. Make the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in whipped cream until evenly incorporated. Spread mixture over chilled crust. Refrigerate while preparing topping.
  4. In a heatproof bowl, dissolve orange jello powder in boiling water. Stir well, then add cold water. Let cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes).
  5. Pour cooled jello carefully over the cream layer. Refrigerate 4–6 hours or until fully set.
  6. Remove cheesecake from springform pan. Garnish with orange zest or whipped cream before serving.

Notes

Be sure the orange jello cools completely before pouring over the cheesecake, otherwise it may melt the cream layer. For best results, chill overnight before serving. You can garnish with whipped cream and orange slices for a stunning presentation.
