  • 0.3333333333 cup fresh orange juice About 1/3 cup.
  • 2 tbsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp orange extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 orange food coloring Optional, just a drop.
  • 2 cup heavy whipping cream Beaten to stiff peaks.
  • 1 whipped cream For topping.
  • 1 orange zest For topping and zest curls.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Make the crust
  1. Mix the finely crushed Golden Oreos with melted butter until evenly combined, looking like damp sand.
  2. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, then refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
Make the orange creamsicle filling
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, thick, and lump-free.
  2. Add sweetened condensed milk, fresh orange juice, orange zest, orange extract, and vanilla extract, then beat until fully smooth.
  3. Add orange food coloring only if desired, using a drop or two and mixing until the filling turns a pale orange.
  4. Fold the stiff whipped cream into the filling in 3 additions, until the mixture looks light, airy, and fully combined with no streaks.
  5. Spread the filling over the crust and smooth the top so the surface is even.
Chill, top, and serve
  1. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until the cheesecake is set and holds its shape when sliced.
  2. Pipe whipped cream around the border, scatter orange zest curls over the top, and serve.

Notes

Pro tip: Soften the cream cheese fully and beat it until glossy before adding the liquids—this prevents a grainy texture when you fold in the stiff peaks. Refrigerate leftovers covered for up to 4 days; freeze is yes—wrap slices tightly and freeze up to 1 month, thaw in the fridge overnight. Dietary swap: for a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese, but expect a slightly softer set.
