How to Make No Bake Mandarin Orange Cheese Cake

  1. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until evenly moistened.
  2. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of an 11x13 inch glass baking dish or pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese and ½ cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, sprinkle 7 grams (1 envelope) of unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Let cool slightly.
  5. Gently pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture.
  7. Pour the cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
  8. Drain one 11-ounce can of mandarin oranges, reserving ¼ cup of the juice. Arrange the mandarin orange segments in rows on top of the cheesecake.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup boiling water with the reserved mandarin orange juice and 3 ounces orange jello. Stir until completely dissolved.
  10. Carefully spoon the jello mixture over the mandarin oranges.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  12. Serve chilled and enjoy!
