This rich, dense, orange-infused cheesecake is inspired by the wonderful desserts made in Greek pastry shops. Let the cream cheese soften before mixing—setting it out 20 to 30 minutes ahead of time should be enough time. This makes it both easier to mix and helps prevent lumps in the cheesecake. The mix of cream cheeses with varying fat levels is important for the filling to ensure the cheesecake firms up in the center and each slice holds its shape when served. The cheesecake it ready to come out of the oven when the center is still a little jiggly. It will continue cooking and firm up as it cools.
