Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 packages (16 ounces / 454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit and Topping:
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
Instructions
- Craft a crumbly foundation by combining graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter, pressing the mixture compactly into the base of a springform pan.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture transforms into a light, airy texture.
- Delicately integrate orange juice and crushed pineapple into the cream cheese blend, ensuring even distribution.
- Create a vibrant topping by blending orange marmalade with additional crushed pineapple in a separate small bowl.
- Smoothly transfer the creamy filling over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading evenly across the pan.
- Artfully dot the surface with spoonfuls of the marmalade-pineapple mixture, then use a knife to create elegant swirling patterns throughout the cheesecake.
- Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing it to set completely and develop rich, harmonious flavors.
- Once fully set, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice into elegant portions, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Boost crust stability by pressing graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the pan, ensuring a compact base that holds together when sliced.
- For ultra-smooth cream cheese mixture, ensure cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature and beat thoroughly to eliminate any lumps.
- Consider using fresh orange juice for a brighter, more vibrant citrus flavor that enhances the overall taste profile of the cheesecake.
- Chill your springform pan beforehand to help the no-bake cheesecake set faster and maintain a cleaner, more defined swirl pattern when adding the marmalade-pineapple mixture.
