Desert - Cheese and mandarin cake by Estera K. - Recipia
The cheesecake with tangerines is an inspired choice for any festive occasion, having a refined taste and a creamy texture that captivates everyone. This recipe is simple yet impressive and can be easily made even by those who are less experienced in the kitchen. The aroma of tangerines harmoniously blends with the cream cheese, creating an explosion of flavors that will delight the taste buds.

To prepare this delicious cake, you will need the following ingredients: 250 g of digestive biscuits, 150 g of melted butter, 400 g of cream cheese, 200 g of sugar, 3 eggs, 200 ml of whipping cream, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, and 4-5 fresh tangerines. Start by grinding the biscuits in a blender until they become a fine powder. Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter, then press the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper, forming the base of the cake. Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the crust to set.

Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Mix well with a mixer until you obtain a smooth and creamy mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, fold in the whipping cream using a spatula. This step is crucial for achieving a fine and airy texture.

Once the crust has set, carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the biscuit base. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake the cake for 40-45 minutes. It is important to check the cake; it is done when the edges are firm and the center is slightly wobbly. Once baked, let the cake cool completely in the tray, then transfer it to the refrigerator for a few hours, ideally overnight, to set well.

Before serving, peel the tangerines and cut them into slices or segments. Arrange them nicely on top of the cake, adding a touch of freshness and a contrast of colors that will make the cake look spectacular. Served cold, the cheesecake with tangerines will surely be the star of your table, bringing a touch of elegance and an unforgettable taste. Prepare it with love and enjoy the appreciation of your loved ones!
