Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 16 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 11 ounces Canned mandarin oranges
- 0.25 cup Orange marmalade
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool completely before filling.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup of sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Spoon the cheesecake filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
Once the cheesecake has set, arrange the drained mandarin oranges in a circular pattern on top of the filling.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the orange marmalade, cornstarch, and water. Stir and cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
Gently brush or spoon the marmalade glaze over the mandarin oranges to give them a glazed finish.
Chill the pie for another 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set. Slice and serve!
