  • Total Time: 6 hours 30 minutes (includes chilling)
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces orange jello powder (one small box)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups graham-cracker crumbs (about 14 sheets)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt
  • 16 ounces cream cheese (two 8-ounce blocks), softened
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar (divided)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 orange (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a heat-safe bowl, whisk the orange jello powder with boiling water until fully dissolved. Let cool completely for about 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by spraying it with cooking spray and lining the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
  3. Mix graham-cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt until combined. Press into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with remaining ½ cup powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest (if using) until stiff peaks form.
  6. Fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  7. Fold the remaining whipped cream into the cooled orange jello mixture until combined.
  8. Alternate spooning cream cheese and orange mixtures into the crust, swirling with a knife for a marbled effect.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until set.
  10. Release from the pan, garnish as desired, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Let jello cool completely before folding to ensure proper setting.
  • For a tangier flavor, add extra orange zest or a drop of orange extract.
  • Swap jello flavors for variety—strawberry, lemon, or peach work well.
  • Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free version.
  • Freeze for longer storage and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
