Equipment

Ingredients
 

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups finely crushed graham crackers
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp coarse Kosher salt (if using table salt, use half the amount)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 1 envelope (1/4 oz) unflavored powdered gelatin
  • 12 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 tsp freshly grated orange zest
  • 1 tsp orange extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 16 segments canned mandarin oranges, patted dry

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Finely crush the graham crackers, then combine with the brown sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and stir until moistened.
  • Firmly press the graham cracker crumbs against the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch baking pan.

Filling

  • Pour the orange juice into a microwaveable dish or measuring cup and stir in the gelatin. Let stand for several minutes, then microwave on high for 30-45 seconds to dissolve the gelatin. Set aside.
  • Place the cream cheese in a large bowl. With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese for several minutes until smooth.
  • Beat in the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, orange zest, orange extract and vanilla extract until smooth, scraping the bowl down several times.
  • Add the orange juice/gelatin mixture, and use a whisk to whisk everything together.
  • Pour the filling over the crust.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until set.
  • Cut into squares, decorating the top of each with a mandarin orange slice. If you like, add a sprinkling of chopped candied orange peel to the top, too.

Notes

Leftover cheesecake bars should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
