Cheesecake is a dessert that is combined with creamsicles, along with cream and cheese. The speciality of it is that it is a no-bake treat. The best time to make this cheesecake is the day before you want to serve it so that it can get the proper time to set up completely. You will need at least 5 hours of chill time, but 6-8 hours is better. Keeping it overnight to set in the refrigerator is the best amount of time, in my opinion.
You can start making the base of cheesecake from crushed cookies. But, first, you’ll have to let it chill in the fridge for about 30-45 minutes or so.
Next, mix up the cheesecake with the orange mixture. The whipped cream mixture must be added to both the cheesecake and orange mixture before layering them both on the outsides of the crust. Finally, place the orange Creamsicle Cheesecake in the fridge overnight to set it up completely.
