• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• Zest of 1 orange
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
• 1/2 cup mandarin orange slices
• Fresh mint leaves and berries for garnish

Directions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter.
   • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
   • Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the crust.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
   • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
   • Mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest until fully combined.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
   • Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust.
   • Evenly distribute half of the pineapple chunks and mandarin orange slices over the cream cheese mixture.
   • Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture on top.
4. Create the Swirl:
   • For a fresh, subtle flavor, use orange juice to create a swirl pattern on top. For a sweeter, more intense flavor and thicker swirl, use orange jelly.

   • Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until set.
6. Garnish and Serve:
