Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake Bar

Make this easy creamy cheesecake bar with a no-bake filling and only 7 ingredients. I use freshly squeezed Cara Cara orange juice and, combined with the whipping cream and cream cheese it tastes just like an orange creamsicle.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham crackers crumbs
  • 5-7 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup orange juice from about 2 cara cara oranges
  • 1 teaspoon fine orange zest from 1 cara cara orange

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Combine enough melted butter with the cookie crumbs to get a moistened, wet sand kind of mixture. This should be moist but not glossy. Press this into a 9x9 pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Whip the cream until it starts to thicken, and then add the vanilla and brown sugar. Whip until well combined. Chill until needed.
  • Beat cream cheese until very smooth, a couple of minutes in a stand mixer (if the cheese is not at room temperature it won't whip up nicely and this may result in a lumpy filling). Mix the vanilla extract, orange juice and zest with the cream cheese until well combined.
  • Gently fold in the sweetened whip cream.
  • Freeze for 3-4 hours, or until the dessert is fully chilled and hardened. Let stand 5 minutes or so before cutting – this will make it easier but keep the bar solid. Store in the freezer.
