Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • Zest of 1 orange

Toppings and Garnish

  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup mandarin orange slices
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Fresh berries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes and set.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, free of lumps. Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next to maintain texture.
  3. Add flavorings to filling: Mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest until everything is evenly combined and the filling is smooth and flavorful.
  4. Assemble first layer: Pour half of the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust, smoothing it evenly.
  5. Add fruit layer: Distribute half of the pineapple chunks and mandarin orange slices evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Top with remaining filling: Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the fruit layer, smoothing the top carefully.
  7. Create the orange swirl: Drizzle additional orange juice or orange jelly over the top of the cake. Use a skewer or knife to swirl it gently through the filling to create an attractive marbled effect. The orange juice gives a light, fresh burst of flavor, while orange jelly offers a sweeter, more pronounced swirl.
  8. Chill until set: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and develop flavors.
  9. Garnish and serve: Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top. Garnish with the remaining pineapple chunks, mandarin orange slices, fresh mint leaves, and berries for a colorful and refreshing finish.

Notes

  • You can substitute orange jelly for orange juice in the swirl for a sweeter, thicker swirl effect.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • For a firmer crust, press the graham cracker mixture firmly and chill thoroughly before layering the filling.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight for best texture and flavor development.
  • Use fresh fruits for garnish to enhance the visual appeal and freshness.
