If you love the nostalgic flavor of an orange creamsicle popsicle, this Orange Creamsicle Mousse is going to become one of your favorite easy desserts. It’s light, creamy, and full of bright citrus flavor with just the right amount of sweetness.
Best of all, this no-bake dessert comes together in minutes and chills in the refrigerator until perfectly fluffy and mousse-like.
The combination of cream cheese, fresh orange juice, and orange zest creates that classic orange-and-cream flavor that reminds you of summer. Then it’s topped with homemade whipped cream for a light and airy finish that makes every bite irresistible.
Orange Creamsicle Mousse is perfect for dinner parties, holiday gatherings, baby showers, or whenever you need a simple make-ahead sweet treat.

How to Make Orange Creamsicle Mousse
I love how light and refreshing this Orange Creamsicle Mousse dessert is. It is super easy to make, and there are only 7 ingredients! Not only is this recipe super simple to make, but it also comes together in under 10 minutes.
These little dessert cups are light and fresh and absolutely perfect for spring!
Orange Creamsicle Mousse has to chill in the fridge for at least an hour before you eat it. I like to top mine with fresh orange zest and a wedge of orange. To give it a great sweet orange flavor, try using different varieties of oranges. I used Cara Cara that I got from Melissa's Produce.
