Ingredients

• 200 grams graham crackers
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 450 grams cream cheese
• 100 grams powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons orange zest
• 100 milliliters fresh orange juice
• 300 milliliters whipping cream
• 10 grams gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1 whole (for garnish) orange slices

Directions

Step 1

Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and mix it thoroughly with the graham cracker crumbs to form a sandy texture.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan (8- or 9-inch diameter). Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Once bloomed, heat the mixture in the microwave for about 10 seconds, or until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the orange zest, orange juice, and the cooled gelatin mixture to the cream cheese, mixing well to combine.

Step 7

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks.

Step 8

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 9

Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.

Step 11

Before serving, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh orange slices on top for a decorative and citrusy touch.

Step 13

Slice and serve your Heavenly Chilled Orange Cheesecake to enjoy the creamy, refreshing flavors!
