Ingredients
  

Golden Oreo crust
  • 24 Golden Oreos finely crushed
  • 5 tbsp butter melted
Orange creamsicle filling
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tbsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp orange extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 orange food coloring optional
  • 2 cup heavy whipping cream beaten to stiff peaks
Topping
  • 1 whipped cream for topping
  • 1 orange zest for curls

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer
  • 1 springform pan

Method
 

Make the crust
  1. Combine finely crushed Golden Oreos with melted butter until evenly moistened, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with a flat surface for a tight layer. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up the crust.
Mix the filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and no lumps remain, scraping the sides as needed. Add sweetened condensed milk, fresh orange juice, orange zest, orange extract, and vanilla extract, then beat until fully smooth.
Color (optional)
  1. If desired, add orange food coloring a drop at a time and beat just until the filling reaches a pale orange color. Stop as soon as the color looks right to avoid tinting too dark.
Fold in whipped cream
  1. Fold the stiff whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in 3 additions, mixing gently after each addition until the batter is airy and fully combined. This keeps the filling light and sliceable.
Assemble and chill
  1. Spread the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top into an even layer. Refrigerate at least 6 hours (or overnight) until set.
Finish and serve
  1. Pipe whipped cream around the border, then scatter orange zest curls over the top for a vivid garnish. Slice and serve once the cheesecake is fully chilled.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, chill overnight and run a warm knife around the edge of the springform before cutting. Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days in a covered container; freeze is not recommended due to the whipped-cream texture. For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese and reduce powdered sugar slightly, but expect a softer set.
