Notes

  • Plan ahead: Be sure to read through the full instructions before getting started. The recipe is pretty easy but there are three layers to prepare so it may take a bit more time than some desserts.
  • Chill each layer long enough: Allow each layer of the cheesecake plenty of time to chill in the refrigerator before you add the next one so they don’t run together.
  • Add food coloring: You may add orange food coloring to any of the layers to enhance the orange color.
  • Don’t pour the prepared jello: For the jello layer, ensure that you spoon it gently and don’t pour it so it stays separate from the cheesecake layer.
