Perfect! Here’s a no-bake Orange Cheesecake recipe that’s creamy, tangy, and ready in about 2 hours—no oven required.
No-Bake Orange Cheesecake
Ingredients (8 servings)
For the crust:
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1–2 oranges
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream), chilled
Optional topping:
- ½ cup whipped cream
- Orange zest or thin orange slices
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the crust
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
- Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish.
- Chill in the fridge for 10–15 min to set.
2️⃣ Make the filling
- Beat cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and orange juice → mix until creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
3️⃣ Assemble
- Pour filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or until firm).
4️⃣ Decorate & serve
- Top with whipped cream, extra orange zest, or thin orange slices.
- Slice and serve chilled.
💡 Tips for best results:
- Fresh orange juice and zest give the brightest flavor.
- Chill long enough so the cheesecake slices cleanly.
- Optional: Add a teaspoon of orange liqueur (like Cointreau) to the filling for extra depth.
If you like, I can also give a fun variation with a chocolate-orange swirl that makes it look like a fancy patisserie cheesecake. It’s show-stopping but still no-bake.
