Glaze

Instructions

If you do not have a pre-made graham cracker crust...

  • Press the graham cracker /butter mixture into a 9-inch pie plate
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes and allow to cool

Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl or using an electric mixer, blend the cream cheese, sugar, and zest
  • In a medium saucepan, over med/high heat, pour 1/4 cup of orange juice (or 1 squeezed orange), let boil, and remove from heat
  • Stir in the orange gelatin - let cool for a few minutes until slightly thickened
  • Add the gelatine mixture to the cream cheese mixture, and blend well
  • Pour that over the crust
  • Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight

Glaze Topping

  • In a small saucepan combine the sugar and cornstarch

Notes

  • The filling will be more like a thickened pudding than a firm cheesecake filling
