Equipment

  • 1 7x10 or 9x13 baking dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Double boiler

Ingredients

Crust

  • 3 cups Gluten Free and Dairy Free sugar cookies, crushed
  • 3 tbsp Dairy Free butter, melted

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz Dairy Free cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz Dairy Free whipped topping

Orange Curd

  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 6 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tbsp orange zest
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 tbsp Dairy Free butter
  • pinch of salt
  • 5 tbsp cornstarch
  • 8 oz Dairy Free whipped topping for serving
  • orange segments for garnish, if desired

Instructions

  • Break up the cookies and spread them into the bottom of your baking dish. Pour the melted Dairy Free butter over the top and press down.
  • Place the crust into the refrigerator while you continue on with the next step.
  • Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar to a mixing bowl and mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Fold in the whipped topping.
  • Spread the cream layer over the crust and place back into the refrigerator.
  • Create a double boiler. Bring a pot of water to a simmer over medium heat and fit a glass bowl over the top of it, making sure the water never touches the bottom of the bowl. You are looking to create steam.
  • Add the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, salt, orange zest, and cornstarch to the bowl. Continuously whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the orange juice and continue to whisk until the mixture becomes thick, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the butter. Continue to cook until it coats the back of a spoon and holds its shape when you run your finger down the spoon.
  • Transfer the orange curd to an airtight container and allow it to cool completely.
  • Once cooled spread the orange curd over the top of the cream cheese layer.
  • Top with an additional 8 oz of Dairy Free whipped topping and garnish with orange segments if desired.
  • Enjoy!
