Orange Dreamsicle Cheesecake

Great summertime dessert. Brings back childhood memories of eating creamsicles. This takes awhile but so refreshing for a hot and humid day bbq.

Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch springform pan with a single piece of extra wide aluminum foil as smoothly as possible.

Pour orange soda into the pan until 1 / 4 inch deep.

Place in freezer , making sure the pan is level.

Freeze until hard.

Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Beat in the milk.

Refrigerate 30 minutes in mixing bowl to chill.

Fold 1-1 / 2 of the tubs of the cool whip into the cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.

Spoon filling into the springform pan on top of the frozen orange soda layer.

Freeze at least 4 hours.

Mix the graham cracker crumbs , sugar , and melted butter until they form a crumbly texture.

Gently sprinkle the crumbs over the frozen cheesecake , smoothing across to form a crust.

Return to the freezer overnight.

When ready to serve , remove the sides of the springform pan.

Loosen the the aluminum foil from the sides of the cheesecake.

Invert the cheesecake onto a serving plate and carefully peel off the aluminum foi.
