Servings 24 bites

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 10 sheets graham crackers
  • 1 Sunkist® Navel Orange zest zest
  • 1 Sunkist Cara Cara Orange zest
  • 2 Sunkist Lemons zest
  • 1/2 cup butter melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 block cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup Sunkist Navel Orange juice
  • 1/4 cup Sunkist Cara Cara Orange juice
  • 2 tbsp Sunkist Lemons juice

Garnish Topping

  • 1 Sunkist Navel Orange chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 1 Sunkist Cara Cara Orange chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 1 Sunkist Lemon chopped into bite-size pieces

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Line a mini cupcake tray with papers.
  • Make crumbs by sealing the graham crackers in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
  • Stir together the crumbs, all of the zests, and butter.
  • Press 1 tbsp of the crumb mixture into each mini cupcake paper.
  • Put the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Cheesecake Filling

  • Use a mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it's smooth.
  • Mix in the sweetened condensed milk and citrus juices until well combined.
  • Fill the prepared crusts with equal amounts of cheesecake filling (about 1 1/2 tbsp).
  • To garnish your bites, cut off the ends of the citrus to create a stable cutting surface, then use a sharp paring knife to remove the peel and white pith, cutting from top to bottom along the curve of the fruit. Once all peel is removed, cut into pieces and place on top of your bites.
  • The bites can be eaten immediately, but I put the pan in the refrigerator overnight so that the filling can set.
  • The longer you leave them in the fridge, the firmer the filling will become!
