Mandarin cheesecake
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. The wonderful flavor of this classic dessert takes on delightful new citrus notes thanks to juicy, sweet tangerines and a hint of lemon tang. If you'd like to make the dessert less sweet, choose slightly tart tangerines for preparing this cheesecake. Try making this dessert at home.
