Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps them combine smoothly and evenly.
  • Use high-quality cream cheese for a rich and creamy cheesecake filling. Full-fat cream cheese is best.
  • Beat the cream cheese until it is completely smooth and free of lumps. Any lumps will result in a grainy cheesecake.
  • Gradually add the sugar to the cream cheese, beating until it is fully incorporated.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cheesecake from curdling.
  • Use fresh orange zest for the best flavor. Zest the oranges immediately before using them to get the most vibrant flavor.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent it from cracking. The water bath creates a humid environment that helps the cheesecake cook evenly.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set properly.
