Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Zester or grater

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 unit orange, zest of 1 orange
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • orange food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Gradually add orange juice and zest to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until combined. Add food coloring if desired.
  • Gently fold in whipped cream until fully incorporated to maintain airy texture.
  • Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Once set, decorate with whipped cream, orange slices, and orange zest.
  • Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is soft for a lump-free filling. Chill the crust for a sturdy base and avoid skipping the chilling time to ensure the cheesecake sets properly. You can experiment with lime or lemon juice for a different citrus flavor. For a lower-calorie version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream.
