For years, cheesecake has been one of my all-time favorite cakes. I love its decadence and texture. I could go on and on about lovely cheesecake but I don’t want to bore the lot of you so I’ll just get on with the recipe. So, today we will be making a delightful orange and cranberry cheesecake that is perfect for those upcoming holiday parties. Seriously, you won’t be able to eat enough of this stuff. And get this? The cake is insanely easy to make! I know you wouldn’t think so by the looks of the picture but trust me, it is. Your friends and family will think that you spent all day hunched over a hot oven with this one! All of my friends wanted to know the recipe when i served this delicious cake at our annual church Christmas party last year. It was truly one of the most popular desserts on the table.
Cranberries are the staple fruit of the holiday season, aren’t they? They’re perfect in so many easy dessert recipes, including this No-Bake Sparkling Cranberry Orange Cheesecake. It’s absolutely beautiful and tastes even better! The cheesecake filling is flavored with orange juice and zest while the cranberries are soaked and coated in sugar. This is an excellent Thanksgiving or Christmas recipe. With the bright orange flavor and tart-but-sweet cranberries, this will most definitely become your new favorite no-bake dessert. All you have to do is refrigerate it for a few hours so that the yummy cheesecake filling can set. -Recipe Lion

Quick Tip: If using homemade whipped cream, I use 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream and 3/4 cup powdered sugar to replace the Cool Whip.
COLESLAW – PLEASE JUST ADD CRUSHED PINEAPPLE AND A LITTLE JUICE. ALSO MOST DELICIOUS COLESLAW. I MAKE MINE JUST LIKE YOURS ONLY ADD PINEAPPLE AND IT IS EXCEPTIONAL. I PREFER HELMANN’S MAYONNAISE LIKE YOU, SO THAT IS WHAT I USE. THEY NEVER ADD THE PINEAPPLE IN A RESTAURANT AND IT TASTS SO BITTER. JUST TRY IT. YOUR HUSBAND MAY LIKE IT ALSO.
