This gorgeous No-Bake Orange Yogurt Cheesecake is citrusy, light and rich. Did we mention delicious too?
It takes 10 minutes to whip up the cheese filling with a food processor. Simply place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or overnight. To make the yummy cheesecake look more impressive, I used canned mandarin oranges with the jelly topping. Definitely a keeper for any occasion, and perfect for hot days too!

Hi Ann,
Would like to check with u, how come the topping doesn’t seems to set after more than 2hours.
I hv follow exactly the measurement indicated.
0.5 teaspoon gelatin & 0.5 teaspoon jelly.
Any particular jelly powder that u used.
I use the konnyaku jelly powder.
Hi Catherine, I’m not sure you’re using the correct ingredient – agar agar powder -. Agar agar powder is a firm jelly that is usually available in the Asian grocery store. If you don’t have the agar agar powder, you can use 1/2 tablespoon of gelatin instead.
Hi there I only have gelatin leaves and not the powder. Do you have an idea how many I would need to use ? Thank you. Tara
