Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Whip the cream cheese mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Whip the heavy cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Combine the cheesecake mixtures: Divide the mixture in half. To one half, add the drained crushed pineapple. To the other half, add the orange juice and orange zest.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the pineapple mixture over the crust, then pour the orange mixture on top, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.
- Chill and set: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Notes
Allow the cheesecake to chill for the best texture and flavor. Serve with whipped cream or tropical fruits.
