Ingredients
Golden Oreo cookies – 24 whole, crushed
Unsalted butter – 6 Tbsp, melted
Kosher salt – 1 pinch
Orange Jell-O – 1 (3-oz.) box
Boiling water – 1 cup
Whipped topping – 2 1/2 cups, divided (1 1/2 for filling, 1 for garnish)
Cream cheese – 16 oz (2 blocks), softened
Sour cream – 1/4 cup
Powdered sugar – 1 cup
Pure vanilla extract – 1 tsp
Kosher salt – 1 pinch
Instructions
Dissolve Jell-O: Whisk orange Jell-O and boiling water in a large bowl. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
Prepare Crust: Combine Oreo crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan.
Make Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and sour cream until light and fluffy. Mix in powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt.
Fold & Divide: Gently fold 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Pour half of this mixture into the cooled Jell-O and whisk until smooth.
Create Swirl: Alternate pouring 1/4 cup dollops of the plain cream cheese mixture and the orange Jell-O mixture onto the crust. Use a butter knife to gently swirl.
Set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
Garnish: Before serving, pipe the remaining 1 cup of whipped topping around the edges.
Notes
• Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the no-bake filling.
• Do not skip cooling the Jell-O; if it’s too hot, it will deflate the whipped topping.
• For a cleaner slice, dip your knife in warm water and wipe it between each cut.
