Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
• 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 0.75 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
• 11 ounces mandarin orange segments (canned, drained)
• 5 ounces mandarin orange segments (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 2

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or a pie dish to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 4–5 minutes.

Step 5

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the air whipped into the cream.

Step 6

Using a spatula, fold in the drained mandarin orange segments into the cheesecake mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.

Step 9

Before serving, optionally garnish the top of the cheesecake with additional mandarin orange segments.

Step 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy your creamy, citrusy no-bake mandarin orange cheesecake!
