Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tbsp sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate (thawed)
Zest of 1 orange
For the Swirl:
1/4 cup orange marmalade (optional, for extra swirl effect)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until fully combined, then press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Add the vanilla extract for extra flavor.
3. Add Tropical Flavors:
Divide the cheesecake filling evenly. To one half, fold in the crushed pineapple. For the other half, add the orange juice concentrate and orange zest for a vibrant citrus twist.
4. Assemble and Swirl:
Spoon alternating dollops of the pineapple and orange mixtures onto the prepared crust for a layered look. If desired, add spoonfuls of orange marmalade throughout. Gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect, giving the cheesecake a beautiful tropical swirl.
5. Chill:
Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan, slice, and savor this creamy, no-bake treat with bold orange and pineapple flavors!
Tips:
Garnish with fresh pineapple slices or a sprinkle of orange zest for a finishing touch.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
