Can you believe how easy this one is? Delicious! (An adopted recipe, I haven't had the chance to make this myself, yet. Recipe has been slightly modified in response to comments.)

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 shortbread pie crust
2 (6 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, pulp free
2 eggs
1 (5 ounce) can mandarin oranges in juice, drained and juice reserved
1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar or 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix cream cheese, sugar, orange juice concentrate, eggs, and reserved mandarin juice on medium speed until fluffy.
Pour into shortbread crust. Carefully arrange mandarin slices on top. Sprinkle with a little light brown sugar, which will caramelize with the mandarin while baking.
Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes, or until cheese portions you can see on top are slightly golden and cheesecake has set.
Remove from oven. Allow to cool on counter, then refrigerate for 3 hours.
Note: adopted recipe originally used 1/2 cup of orange juice concentrate and gave no indication of what to do with the mandarin oranges. (LOL, what use is THAT?).
