How To Make orange cheesecake

  • Step 1
    For crust, in a 7 inch pie plate, cook butter uncovered on 100% power (high) for 45-60 seconds or until melted. Add crushed graham crackers and 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir until all is moistened. Press mixture firmly against bottom and sides of pie plate. Cook, uncovered, on high for 1-1 1/2 minutes or until set, giving pie plate a half turn after 30 seconds. Set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a microwave safe mixing bowl, cook cream cheese, uncovered, on 50% power (medium) for 1-1 1/2 minutes or until softened. Stir in beaten egg, 1/3 cup sugar, and sour cream until mixture is smooth. Add orange peel, orange juice, and vanilla. Mix well. Pour cream cheese mixture into crust. Cook, uncovered, on medium for 8-10 minutes or until a knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean, giving pie plate a quarter turn every 2 minutes. (Center will be slightly set, but not firm.) Cool slightly.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile, in a small microwave safe bowl or custard cup, cook orange marmalade on 100% power (high) for 30-60 seconds or until warm. Spoon over top of cheesecake. Cool. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or until set.
