Can I use other fruits instead of pineapple?

Yes, you can substitute the pineapple with other fruits like mango, strawberries, or peaches. Just be sure to adjust the texture if using fruit that's not as juicy as pineapple.

How do I make this cheesecake more or less sweet?

To adjust the sweetness, you can reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the filling or increase it to make the cheesecake sweeter. If you prefer a tangier dessert, consider adding extra orange juice.

Can I use a different type of crust?

Yes! While the graham cracker crust is traditional, you can experiment with other crusts such as digestive biscuits, Oreo cookies, or even a gluten-free option for dietary preferences.

How can I make this cheesecake firmer?

To make a firmer cheesecake, add 1 tablespoon of gelatin dissolved in 2 tablespoons of warm water to the filling before mixing in the orange juice and pineapple.

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a separate bowl until smooth.
Add heavy cream and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture is thick and fluffy.
Gently fold in orange juice and crushed pineapple until well combined with the cheesecake filling.
In a small bowl, mix orange marmalade with additional crushed pineapple.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the marmalade-pineapple mixture over the cheesecake filling. Use a knife or skewer to swirl it into the cheesecake, creating a marbled effect.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

For an added orange flavor, you can mix in a teaspoon of orange zest into the filling.
If you prefer a firmer cheesecake, add 1 tablespoon of gelatin dissolved in 2 tablespoons of warm water to the filling before mixing in the orange juice and pineapple.
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
