Arizona Sunset Cheesecake PART #2
Cranberry Glaze Filling:
Mix the sugar and cornstarch together in a small saucepan.
Stir in the cranberry sauce.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick.
Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
Set aside to cool slightly.
White Chocolate Filling:
Reset the oven to 350 degrees F. Boil the orange juice
and piece of orange peel in a heavy medium saucepan until
the juice is reduced to 3 Tbsp - about 12 minutes.
Remove and discard the strip of orange peel and set aside
the reduced orange juice.
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, grated
orange zest, Crantasia, and reduced orange juice until smooth.
Beat in the melted white chocolate and then the eggs, one at a
time, beating just until combined.
Pour the cranberry glaze filling into the prepared crust,
spreading evenly.
Pour the white chocolate filling over the cranberry layer and
bake about 50 minutes (the top will be dry and the sides puffed
slightly - the center will not be set).
Move cheesecake to a wire rack and cool completely to room temperature.
Chill in the refrigerator overnight.
Candied Oranges Topping:
Cover a wire rack with waxed paper. Set aside.
Combine the water and sugar in a heavy shallow wide skillet.
Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Simmer 5 minutes longer.
Add the orange slices 1 at a time
and adjust the heat so that the syrup bubbles only around the
edges of the pan.
Cook the oranges for one hour.
Turn over the top layer of oranges and cook until the oranges
are translucent and the orange peels tender,
about another one hour longer.
Lift and drain each orange slice out of the syrup, and arrange
the slices in a single layer on the prepared rack.
Let dry 1 hour.
Boil the orange-sugar syrup until thick, about 6 minutes.
Loosen and remove the sides of the springform pan.
Set the cheesecake on a serving dish.
Overlap the candied orange slices around the top of the
cheesecake.
Reheat the orange syrup, if necessary, and brush over the orange
slices.
Drizzle any remainder over each serving. Garnish: whipped cream.
NOTE: You may substitute grapefruits for the oranges in the Candied
Oranges Topping if you prefer.
Mix the sugar and cornstarch together in a small saucepan.
Stir in the cranberry sauce.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick.
Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
Set aside to cool slightly.

Arizona Sunset Cheesecake PART #1
Shortbread Crust
1 1/2 c Flour
1/2 c Finely ground pecans
1/3 c Sugar
1 lg Egg, separated
1/2 c Butter, softened
Cranberry Glaze Filling
1 cn Whole berry cranberry- sauce OR 2 cups cranberry
orange relish
2 tb Sugar
1 tb Cornstarch
1 tb Grated lemon zest
1 tb Lemon juice
White Chocolate Filling
1 1/2 c Fresh orange juice
1-3 Inch x 1 inch piece- of orange peel (orange part only)
4 8 oz pkgs cream cheese
2/3 c Sugar
1 tb Grated orange zest
2 tb Cranberry Liqueur (such- as Crantasia Schnapps)
8 oz White chocolate, melted
4 Eggs
Candied Orange Topping
4 c Water
2 c Sugar
3 Seedless oranges (unpeeled)- cut into paper-thin slices
Garnish Whipped Cream
Shortbread Crust:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Working on a large flat
surface, such as a pastry board,
place flour, pecans, and sugar in the center of the
surface and mix together.
Form a small depression or well in the center of the mound.
Add the egg yolk and the softened butter to the well, then blend
these with the dry mixture.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands -- there is no
substitute for warm hands.
Shape the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap.
Chill for at least 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4-inch.
You should have a circle of about 11 inches in diameter.
For best results, roll out your dough between 2 sheets of waxed
paper,
then peel away the paper and cut the crust in a 9 inch circle.
Place the circle inside a 9 inch springform pan.
Prick the crust several times with a fork to keep the crust from
puffing up during the baking.
Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes,
or until light brown.
Allow to cool. Using the leftover dough, line the sides of the
springform pan.
Press the dough against the sides of the pan, smoothing it so as
to have a continuous layer of crust all the way around the sides
of the pan.
Make sure that the side crust meets the bottom crust all the way
around.
Brush the reserved egg white onto the shell,
covering the bottom and sides.
This will seal the dough and keep it from becoming soggy.
Set aside until ready to use.
