Hi! ?
I’m relatively new at baking, so I’m just a little confused. You’re calling for Oreo cookies for the crust, but that l moremore like a Graham Cracker crust. Am I missing something?? Thanks!!
Lidia Simic says
Hi Angel, I have used Golden Oreo cookie for crust, but I think you can use Graham Cracker crust
Catherine Dallago says
You can also use vanilla wafers
Yummiest Food says
Thank you, Catherine! It’s a nice idea.:)
Luna says
My gelatin didn’t set. I mixed the jello powder directly with the boiling water. Did I miss something? I’ve never prepped gelatin before.
Lidia Simic says
Hi Luna, when you make the Jello, it’s super important to let the Jello to cool for about few minutes before you add the whipped cream. If you don’t let the Jello to cool, the cake will not set up and it will be very runny. Hope that helps!
Bobbye says
Listen, why not cut out the middle man by using good ole Cool Whip instead of whipping cream? Works just as well except no mixer needed and saves time.
Lidia Simic says
Hi Bobbye, you could certainly try it. Let me know how it goes!
lea says
Orange creamsicle is the very best ever! It reminds me of being a kid again. I am so in love with this cake and its fun colors!
Elaine Cox says
I made this yesterday and it turned out lovely, refreshing and light and tasty. Like Bobbye suggested, I used Cool Whip instead of whipping heavy cream, which saved some time & effort and it worked well. It’s hard to know just how much to let the Jello/hot water cool down, so just a little of the orange mixture became a thin layer of “actual” jello just in the center. But that was okay, it kind of added another fun texture & look to the slice of cake. Thanks for a nice recipe!
Lidia Simic says
You’re welcome Elaine! 🙂 Thank you for such a nice comment! I’m glad that you like the recipe!
Gloria Tucker says
I am going to do this for thanksgiving

Katie Sonneborn says
The problem with Cool Whip is that it’s mostly oil and doesn’t work as well as the real deal. It only takes a few minutes to make the whipped cream and I think you’ll be happier with the results.
Grace says
Where can I find orange extract? Can I use something else if for some reason I can’t find it?
Yummiest Food says
Hi Grace! You can use an orange zest to replace orange extract. Hope you like it! 🙂

Cheryl wendt says
I’m going to make this dessert, but, is it 3 boxes of 3 ounce jello or 1 box of 3 ounce jello? The recipe says 3.3 ounce box of jello. The boxes are only 3 ounces. Ii’m confused. Thank-you!
Yummiest Food says
Hi Cheryl! It’s 3.3 oz. box orange-flavored gelatin (like Jello).
