How to make it
- Grease a 9 inch spring form pan.

- Beat the cream cheese with the egg yolks, vanilla, and ¾ cup of the sugar.
- Beat the egg whites, and then fold them into the egg yolk mixture.
- Beat the cream into stiff peaks, and then fold it into the cheesecake batter.
- Chop the orange flesh into small pieces, ensure all the skin and pith have been removed, and then stir half of it into the batter.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the pan and freeze it for 4 hours.
- Stir the jello into the boiling water and keep stirring until it all dissolves. Stir in the cold water, and then let the jello thicken up a bit.
- Stir the rest of the chopped orange flesh into the orange jello, then pour it over the frozen cheesecake and leave it to set in the refrigerator.
- Combine the cornstarch with the remaining ⅓ cup of white sugar. Stir in the orange juice and turn the heat up to medium. Bring the mixture to a low boil, stirring it all the time until it is clear and thick.
- Let the sauce cool, and then drizzle it over the cheesecake.
- Keep the cheesecake in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it.
- Garnish each serving with some strips of orange peel and a sprig of fresh mint.
