Ingredients You’ll Need
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
- 1 box (3 oz) orange gelatin (Jell-O)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
How to Make It: Step-by-Step
1. Make the crust:
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
2. Dissolve the gelatin:
In a separate bowl, dissolve the orange gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Let it cool to room temperature (don’t let it set).
3. Prepare the filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Mix in the orange juice and zest. Gradually add the cooled gelatin. Fold in the whipped topping until light and fluffy.
