- Once the milk starts boiling, slow down the heat and add the lemon juice(3 tbsp lemon juice+ 1 tbsp water) to the milk in batches. And after adding every batch of lemon juice to the milk, keep stirring the milk.
- Milk will start curdling, and when after using the lemon juice(total quantity) when the milk completely cuddled and leave greenish water. Then switch off the flame.
- Take a bowl put a strainer on its mouth and then spread a cheesecloth or cotton cloth on the strainer and strain the curdled milk through it.
- When the water will be separated from the cheese then add 2-3 cups of water(at normal temperature) to cool down its temperature.

How to make orange cheesecake
- First, take the Nutri choice biscuit or any hard crust biscuit, even can use orange oats biscuits too, and grind it or crush it to make a powder form of it.
- Then pour the crushed or grind biscuit into a mixing bowl and add 4 tbsp melted butter to it. Mix it nicely.
- Now take the cake tin, grease the bottom and inner wall of the cake tin with a cube of butter ass shown in the pic. Here I’ve used a 20 cm cake tin with a removable bottom.
- Now put the butter mixed crushed biscuit to the bottom of the cake tin. And spread it evenly on the bottom and properly press it down with a spatula or hand to make sure it’s the base of this cake.
- Then place the cake tin in the freezer for 1 hr to set this crushed biscuit base.
- In the meantime, take a mixing bowl, put homemade cream cheese in it, and use an electric beater or hand beater whisk it properly.
- Then add 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice to it. I use lemon juice instead of using sour cream as the sourness of lemon juice will act like sour cream in this no baking dessert recipe.
- Then whisk it well to mix the lemon juice nicely with cream cheese.
- Now add 1/4 cup of orange marmalade or orange jam to the cream cheese. Then again whisk it well to mix it correctly.
- Then the creamy and lite orange texture will come from the cream cheese mixture. Keep it aside.
- Then take another mixing bowl and add 3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream. Beat it well with the help of the electric beater.
- Beat the heavy whipping cream for 3-4 mins till the soft peak will come, as shown in the pic.
- Now add the store-bought icing sugar to the whipped cream. And bit it again for 2-3 mins, till not get that firm peak as shown in the pic.
- Then add vanilla essence to it and bit it for 1 more min to incorporate the things together.
- Now add the creamy and little orange-colored cream cheese to the mixing bowl. And whisk it nicely to mix it with each other.
- Then add the gelatin to the mixing bowl, which will help to stabilize the mix and it won’t be gooey. And whisk it well with the cream cheese and whipped cream.
- After 1 hr. take the cake tin out of the freezer, where the crushed biscuit layer has already been set. And pour the orange cream cheese and whipped cream mixture into the tin.
- And first, evenly level its top with a spatula. Then put the cake tin in the freezer once again for 2 hrs.
- After 2 hrs take it out of the freezer and pour the fresh homemade orange jelly on top of the cream cheese.

Tips
- In this no-bake cheesecake, the use of store-bought icing sugar and gelatin is mandatory. As both will work as the stabilizer and hold the shape of this cheesecake firmly. And don’t let it a meltdown.
- But don’t keep this dessert out of the refrigerator as the cake with creamy frosting and cheesecakes are always to be kept in the refrigerator according to the bakers for preventing it’s to be melted down.
- Don’t use ordinary powdered sugar, in this recipe, which can make the combination of cream cheese and whipped cream a little gooey. As store-bought icing sugar contains corn starch to give the firmness in any cream base cake.
- Instead of orange marmalade, can use the homemade orange jelly too in this recipe.
- Always keep the heavy whipping cream in the freezer at least for 1 hr before using it.
- As I’m using a 20 cm cake tin, so I’ve used 200 gms Nutri choice biscuit to it. If you are using small cake tin than me, use 100 gms biscuit to crush.
- I’ve used sugar as per my requirement, you may use less or more sugar as per your choice.
