How to Make Orange Cheesecake Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease and line a 30cm x 20cm (12x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to help with lifting later.
  2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on low speed, combine the orange cake mix, eggs, and milk until just combined.
  3. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 4 minutes, until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan.
  6. While the cake cools, prepare the orange cheesecake topping. In a heatproof bowl, combine the 1/3 cup orange juice and gelatin.
  7. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  8. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  9. Beat in the sour cream and orange zest until well combined.
  10. Gradually add the cooled gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating on low speed until smooth and fully incorporated.
  11. Gently spread the orange cheesecake mixture evenly over the cooled cake base.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the cheesecake topping is set and firm.
  13. Once set, lift the cheesecake squares from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
