Orange Cheesecake Dessert

March 2, 2011 by Roxy Leave a Comment

I love all desserts with a citrus flavour, especially orange flavour. They are so refreshing, light and delicious! I made this orange cheesecake dessert for the first time and my hubby and I really loved it. It’s made with cottage cheese flavoured with fresh orange zest and topped with orange-vanilla pudding. If you prefer, you can replace oranges with mandarins or lemons. Just try it once and you will find yourself craving it again and again.

It was Sunday morning and for some reason I woke up with a craving for something sweet. I had fresh fruits, whipping cream and some lady fingers so all I could think of was a fruit cake that my mom used to make quite often when I was a kid. It’s called “Tort Diplomat” and there are different variations of the recipe; but, most of the time, the cake filling is made using whipped cream set with gelatin and mixed with fruit pieces (pineapple, oranges, mandarins, kiwi, berries, raisins and so on).

I can assure you that this cake is extremely easy to make and a very refreshing dessert. It’s very light and not overly sweet, perfect for any occasion. The only drawback is that you have to refrigerate the cake for a couple of hours to allow the gelatin to set. [Read more...]
