Everyone I have shared this with has loved it
Having grown up drinking whole milk mixed with orange juice…OMG! I’ll be making this, because licking my monitor was on my mind. As soon as I post this, I’m on my way to the store for some cream cheese and food coloring. I know it’s going to be better than good.
This cheesecake came out fantastic! I made it for my family on our “family/pizza” night and my adult son said “Mom this is delicious and I expect one of these every month!!” That was my first ever cheesecake and its perfect! Now Ive made it several times!! Thank you for this recipe!!
Great recipe
This cheesecake has exceptionally light and Creamy texture. The next time I make it I’m going to recovered the orange and plain batter making it more orange. Loved it
It’s amazing!!
Made it with 3/4 c. Splenda and a pecan crust. For my keto family. They loved it! Brought back memories of dreamcicles.
I have made this 3 times and everyone goes crazy for it. I doubled the food color to make it more vibrant. it is always a huge it!!
Not sure about this one. I used orange zest in addition to flavouring and made a chocolate crust. I also decorated it with candied orange slices. There was nothing really wrong with it, more just didn’t wow or inspire me to say I’d make it again.
This is a great recipe!!! I added orange zest to the batter. Also, 1 cup of orange colored batter was too much. I only used 1/2 cup on my second go round.
This was so delicious! Rave reviews too! You can’t go wrong with this one!
This is adored by the family! For allergy issues-I do not use food coloring- I add orange zest to the top layer for additional orange flavor and a little color. I also use gluten-free graham cracker crust
My whole family LOVED this cheese cake! It was a big hit!
I was craving a creamsicle cake and I found this recipe. I was so excited to try this because I know I can make it sugar free and the recipe is super simple! It turned out AMAZING!! My craving is totally satisfied and my husband enjoyed it too. I don’t use sugar, I use Truvia cooking sugar substitute. I don’t eat sugar and my husband is diabetic. I made my own crust with Arrowroot baby cookies and one graham cracker and followed the cheesecake crust recipe, but I cut the Truvia to 1/8 cup. Then for the cheesecake I didn’t use food coloring. I don’t need the color since it’s just for the family. I added orange zest and more vanilla extract because the orange extract is too strong for my taste. I love how it turned out! Moist and creamy and you can’t even tell it’s sugar free! I will be making this again!
Added an egg and two tablespoons of flour and got an airy, fluffy, light result. Very satisfied!
I added orange zest to the mix. It added an extra kick to the whole pie.
This cheesecake is soooo delicious. And I didn’t even like cheesecake until now. It’s simple to make too! Brought joy to a wonderful easter dessert.
Wow, this is a great recipe! I made it as instructed and it was a big hit!
Excellent dish, tasted wonderful, I did not have any grahams crackers so made a crust out of digestives, but still worked fine and was delicious
Loved it, easy to make.
The Cheese cake turned out delicious . It could have had a little more orange flavor. I will put more orange extract next time.
