Ingredients

Units Scale

For the crust:

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

For the filling:

  • 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained

For the swirl:

  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained

For garnish (optional):

  • Whipped cream
  • Additional pineapple chunks
  • Mandarin orange slices
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Berries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust:

    • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
    • Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  2. Prepare the filling:

    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
    • Add the vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest, mixing until fully incorporated.
    • Fold in the drained crushed pineapple.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake:

    • Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
    • In a small bowl, combine the orange marmalade and remaining crushed pineapple.
    • Drop spoonfuls of the marmalade-pineapple mixture over the cheesecake layer.
    • Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the mixture into the cheesecake for a marbled effect.
    • Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture on top, smoothing the surface.
    • Add additional spoonfuls of the marmalade mixture on top and create swirls as desired.
  4. Chill:

    • Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
  5. Serve:

    • Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
    • Garnish with whipped cream, pineapple chunks, mandarin orange slices, fresh mint leaves, and berries if desired.
    • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to achieve a smooth filling.
  • For a more intense orange flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of orange zest to the filling.
  • This cheesecake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
