Orange cream cheesecake with candied orange slices is a delicious kosher cheesecake recipe made with ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and Milksplash milk flavoring.
The folks at MilkSplash and my friends at voiceBoks, are offering an exciting cooking contest and Twitter Party this month…The Splash Off!
One lucky winner will receive a $500.00 Visa gift card, for creating the best recipe using one of MilkSplash’s new Milk Flavoring products.
My entry for the contest is a luscious ricotta cream cheese orange cream cheesecake, decorated with candied orange slices.
The recipe utilizes MilkSplash Orange Cream Dream flavoring.
I added homemade candied orange slices to give the dessert a Thanksgiving twist. Their chewy-sweet texture counterbalanced by the smooth-dreamy creamsicle flavor of the MilkSplash flavoring, really hit the mark. The addition of the Matzoh meal enhanced the texture as well as making the dish Kosher for the Holidays.
MilkSplash comes in six flavors: Horchata Piñata, Cocoa Loco, Sir Strawberry Swirl, Orange Cream Dream, Cookies ‘N Cream, and Jammin’ Banana.
- 5 tablespoon dry matzoh meal
- 1 teaspoon cold butter
- 1 32 ounce tub whole milk ricotta cheese

- Place orange slices on parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 200 degrees F. for 3-5 hours, turning occasionally. Low and slow.

- Plus for 15-30 seconds or until well blended
- Pour into prepared springform pan
- Place in heated oven on the middle rack, immediately reduce heat to 300 degrees F. and cook for 1- 1.5 hours. Middle should be slightly jiggly, do not over cook
