Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

For the crust:

1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
¼ cup melted butter
2 tbsp sugar

For the filling:

16 oz cream cheese softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup fresh orange juice
1 tbsp orange zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 packet orange gelatin

Optional topping:

Whipped cream
Orange slices or zest curls

Method

Mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar until combined and press into a pan.
Chill crust in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Add sugar, vanilla, orange juice, and orange zest and mix well.
Prepare orange gelatin as per instructions and mix into filling.
Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form and gently fold into mixture.
Pour filling over crust and smooth the top evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
Decorate with whipped cream and orange slices before serving.

Notes

Always use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth texture.
Fresh orange juice and zest give the best flavor (don’t skip zest!).
Chill time is essential—don’t rush it or it won’t set properly.
For a firmer texture, chill overnight instead of minimum time.
You can easily double the recipe for larger gatherings.
