Citrusy sugar cookie crust is topped with a deliciously creamy orange sherbet cheesecake filling in this nostalgic nod to the famous ice cream truck treat. It’s all the sweet oranges and cream flavor you remember, without having to run after a truck that’s blasting “Turkey in the Straw.”

More About This Recipe

  • Did you ever run down the street breathless after the ice cream truck, waving money and trying to get the driver to stop so you could buy a frozen treat on a hot summer's day? I can remember hearing the music coming from the ice cream truck, begging my mom for some money and then rushing out only to find the truck had already passed my house. Luckily there were always other kids down the street who'd get the truck to stop so I never had to run very far. When it was my turn to make a purchase, I'd often buy an orange creamsicle. The orange popsicle wrapped around vanilla ice cream was so refreshing and fun. I marveled at how they got the ice cream inside the popsicle as I enjoyed my frozen orange treat. Now as an adult I don't chase down ice cream trucks, but I still love the delicate orange and vanilla flavor of an orange creamsicle so I created this orange creamsicle no-bake cheesecake. With its sugar cookie crust and creamy orange sherbet cheesecake filling, it's so good that I'd run down the street for a slice of this any day!
