What You Need to Make Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake
- Orange Cake Mix- You want to use an orange cake mix for the crust of this cake. While other flavored cake will work, if you want the best flavor for the crust of the cheesecake, I recommend that you use orange cake.
- Orange Juice- This is one more way that you are bringing in the orange flavor to the cake. Make sure it is orange juice and not just a flavored orange drink.
- Orange Marmalade- Orange marmalade brings this cake over the top.
What if I Can’t Find Orange Cake Mix
If you can’t find orange cake mix, you can use any flavor of cake mix and any flavor of juice for this recipe. You can also use vanilla cake with orange extract or use extra orange juice in the place of water.
How to Make No Bake Orange Cheesecake
Orange Crust
Step 1- Prepping the Pan.
Use parchment paper to line the bottom of a 7-inch Spring-form pan and set it aside.
Step 2- Orange Cake Batter.
Add the orange cake mix, egg, milk, and oil into a mixing bowl and combine at low speed. Switch the speed to high and combine for another minute while using a spatula to scrape the sides and combine again.
Step 3- Baking.
Add the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees. Use a toothpick to check the doneness of the cheesecake by placing it in the middle and if it comes out clean, it’s done. Take the cheesecake out of the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool thoroughly.
Cheesecake Batter
Step 1- Making the Batter.
Add the cream cheese into the bowl of a standing mixer and combine until smooth. Use a spatula to scrape the mixing bowl, then pour in the vanilla and orange juice and combine again. Pour in the heavy cream and mix again until thick.
Step 2- Thickening.
A little at a time, add in the powdered sugar and combine after each addition until thick and creamy.
Step 3- Adding to the Pan.
Make sure the springform is cool to see if the cake is cool and if not, set it in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill. Take the pan out of the freezer and add the cheesecake batter on top of the orange crust.
Use a spatula to evenly spread and top with dollops of the orange marmalade in the middle of the cheesecake. Use a knife to swirl the marmalade an inch or so into the batter and over top of the cheesecake.
Step 4- Freezing.
Set the cheesecake overnight in the freezer for the best results.
Frosting
Step 1- Prepping the Frosting.
Make the frosting before you serve the cheesecake, and decorate the cheesecake. Place the frosting into the fridge or freezer until you are ready to serve. In the mixing bowl of a standing mixer, add the softened cream cheese, and room temperature butter and beat until combined until smooth and creamy. (Softening the ingredients in the microwave will give the frosting an entirely different consistency)
Step 2- Consistency.
Pour in the vanilla and heavy cream until combined. A little at a time, add in the powdered sugar and combine after each addition until thick and creamy, and all of the powdered sugar is used.
Step 3- Frosting the Cheesecake.
Add the frosting into a pastry bag with a large whipping cream tip (see link) and begin adding dollops of frosting on the edge of the cheesecake all around.
Step 4- Garnish.
Slice the orange in halves or in quarters and place it on top of the frosting.
Step 5- Serving.
Slice the cheesecake into 2-inch pieces and serve. Enjoy!
