Tangerine Dream Swirl Cheesecake

Sara Coleman
This vibrant dessert features a silky vanilla bean cheesecake base swirled with a bright, zesty tangerine curd over a buttery graham cracker crust. It is a refreshing, citrus-forward twist on the classic New York-style cheesecake that is as beautiful as it is delicious.

Notes

For the best results, wrap the bottom of the springform pan in foil and use a water bath during baking to prevent cracks. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. This recipe can be made ahead and frozen for up to 1 month—thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
