Orange Creamsicle No-Bake Cheesecake

Do you remember those yummy Orange Creamsicle Popsicle bars that have been around forever? While I was growing up we used to buy them during the summer at the local swimming pool. Dripping wet from the pool we’d sit in the shade wrapped in towels and quickly devour our delicious frozen treats. Orange anything is healthier, right? We didn’t have to worry about the carbs and calories back in those days, we were burning it off playing and swimming for hours and hours, day after day. What a fun memory 🙂 We wanted to recreate that memorable and delicious creamsicle flavor in a cool treat that’s easy to make and pretty enough to serve company.

This whole recipe is designed to be quick and simple with no baking required. While we love how simple it is to make, we also want it to deliver big orange flavor too. For the base we went with Lorna Doone, our favorite store-bought shortbread cookie. The cookies crumble beautifully and are not very sweet making them perfect for this no-bake cheesecake recipe. The cookie crumbs are combined with fresh orange zest and melted butter and divided between six (8-ounce) jars, cups or glasses. Don’t pack the base too tightly; leave it a bit loose to make it easier to scoop out with a spoon. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.


Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 cup crushed shortbread cookies, about 17-18 Lorna Doone cookies
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • For the filling:
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed (no sugar added)
  • zest from 1 small orange
  • For serving (optional):
  • Sliced orange wedges
  • Whipped cream
  • Additional orange zest
  • Extra shortbread cookies

Instructions

  1. To prepare the crust:
  2. Mix together the crushed cookies, butter and zest. Divide the mixture (about 2 1/2 tablespoons each) between six (8-ounce) jars and press down gently. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
