Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are fully moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat again until fully incorporated and smooth.
Slowly mix in the thawed orange juice concentrate until evenly combined.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange mixture until smooth and airy.
Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
Cover and freeze the dessert for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, let the dessert soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes and garnish with orange zest, if desired.
Cut into squares and serve immediately for a frosty treat!
