Here is a recipe for orange cheesecake that you can easily follow and make in the comfort of your own kitchen. First, let us start with the ingredients.

Ingredients

For the crust:

– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

– 3 packages (24 ounces) cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs, at room temperature
– 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
– ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

– 1 cup sour cream
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

2. To make the crust, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and orange zest in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix again until the mixture is well combined. Press the mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes and then let it cool completely.

3. To make the filling, beat the softened cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until it is smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.

4. One at a time, beat in the eggs, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract, and mix again until everything is well combined.

5. Pour the filling onto the cooled crust. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

6. Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly. Turn off the oven, open the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 30 minutes.

7. To make the topping, combine the sour cream, sugar, and orange zest in a bowl. Spread the mixture evenly over the cheesecake.

8. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.

9. Once the cheesecake is chilled, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Release the sides of the pan and slice the cheesecake into equal servings.
