  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the 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. Layer the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the 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. Create a swirl pattern with additional orange juice if desired.

  5. Garnish and Serve: Top with whipped cream, pineapple chunks, mandarin orange slices, fresh mint leaves, and berries for garnish before serving.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for 2 hours before beating to achieve a smooth and creamy texture
Use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest for the best flavor
When creating the swirl pattern, be gentle to maintain the distinct layers of the cheesecake
Chill the cheesecake overnight for a firmer texture
Using a springform pan makes it easier to remove the cheesecake without damaging its shape
Add 1 tablespoon of coconut cream to the filling for an extra tropical flavor boost
Can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator
