No Bake Mandarin Orange Cheesecake

This smooth and creamy no bake mandarin orange cheesecake is so easy to put together. It tastes like a full fat cheesecake, but only has a fraction of the fat and calories. I make this year round since it’s such an easy recipe and we all love it so much. You can change around the flavor of gelatin for a nice variety. Try making this on a warm sunny day, go outside, cut a nice size slice of this luscious cheesecake and enjoy every bite!

Creamy deliciousness, that’s what this luscious pie is all about. Make one soon and taste for yourself. Enjoy!

What you’ll need to make this creamy dreamy cheesecake…

Ingredients:

2/3 cup boiling water
1 small box Jell-O Sugar Free Orange Gelatin — 3 ounce package
8 oz regular or reduced fat cream cheese, softened, don’t use fat free for this recipe
1 cup low fat cottage cheese, I used 2 %
2 graham crackers, crushed
1 tablespoon melted butter, I used unsalted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt, I used sea salt
1 to 2 teaspoons mandarin orange zest
2 cups Cool Whip or any whipped topping
aerosol whipped cream for garnish, this is optional
Mandarin orange zest for garnish, I used 2 small mandarin oranges, you can used canned mandarin oranges too
mandarin slices for garnish

Here’s how to make this luscious no bake mandarin orange cheesecake…

Directions:

Brush the melted butter, on the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate. Set aside.
In a small zip lock bag, crush up the graham cracker into fine crumbs. You can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a small saucepan to lightly crush them.
Sprinkle the crumbs over the bottom of the pie plate, Set aside until ready to fill.
In a heat proof bowl, add Jell-O and then add the boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool for about 5 to 8 minutes.
In a blender, add the cooled Jell-O, cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, mandarin zest, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. The smell is so refreshing!
Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and gently fold or stir in Cool Whip until blended.
Gently pour or spoon mixture into the prepared pie plate and smooth out. Sprinkle the zest over the pie.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. Garnish with mandarin slices and whipped cream . When you slice the pie, if there are extra crumbs, sprinkle over the whipped cream or top of pie.
