How to Make Squares Of Cake With Cheese And Orange

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. **Prepare the filling:** In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese and ½ cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in ¼ cup all-purpose flour and the zest of 1 large orange. Mix well after each addition.
  6. Add ¼ cup fresh orange juice and ½ cup evaporated milk. Beat on low speed until just combined.
  7. Pour the filling over the prepared crust.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the squares to set completely.
  11. Garnish with fresh orange slices, berries, or powdered sugar before serving.
