How to Make Orange Babycake Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of your chosen crumbs with ¼ cup melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Evenly press the crumb mixture into the bottoms of four 3-inch mini cheesecake pans.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add ½ cup granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  6. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the zest of one orange.
  8. In a separate small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup orange juice and 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (optional).
  9. Gently fold the orange juice mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
  10. Pour the cheesecake batter evenly into the prepared crusts.
  11. Place the mini cheesecakes in a larger baking pan and pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the mini pans (this creates a water bath).
  12. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  13. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the water bath.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
