Orange Push-Up Cheesecake

Orange Push-Up Cheesecake

The best ice cream treat I can remember from childhood is those orange push-ups, so I just had to invent a dessert that recalled the scrumptious taste beloved by all kids--and the men they up to be! This tastes amazingly like the dream dessert you remember.

2 (8-ounce) packages Philadelphia fat-free cream cheese
1 (4-serving) package JELL-O sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (4-serving) package JELL-O sugar-free orange gelatin
2/3 cup Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
1 cup unsweetened orange juice
3/4 cup Cool Whip Lite
1 (6-ounce) Keebler shortbread piecrust
2 tablespoons flaked coconut


In a large bowl, stir cream cheese with a spoon until soft. Add dry pudding mix, dry gelatin, dry milk powder, and orange juice. Mix well using a wire whisk. Blend in 1/4 cup Cool Whip Lite. Spread mixture evenly into piecrust. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Cut into 8 servings. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon Cool Whip Lite and 1 teaspoon coconut.

Each serving equals:
