Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake

Slice and Serve:
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into wedges. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing citrus flavor!
Tips for Success:
Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that the cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature to achieve a smooth and creamy filling.
Preventing Cracks: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath (by placing the springform pan in a larger pan filled with hot water) can help prevent cracks. Wrapping the springform pan in foil can protect it from water leaks.

Cooling: Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven to avoid sudden temperature changes that can cause cracks.
Variations:
Berry Swirl Cheesecake: Add a berry swirl by incorporating a layer of berry sauce (like raspberry or blueberry) into the cheesecake before baking.
Ginger Crust: Substitute the graham cracker crumbs with crushed ginger snap cookies for a spicy twist.
