Mandarian Orange Cheesecake

As you all know I love cheesecake, by now this is I guess my third post for cheesecake, I had pineapple, candy cane and now this. I had my eye on this recipe for so long and was waiting for the right moment to make it and made it and everyone  loved it and it made my day. So here it is , easy and yummy dessert , right to feed the crowd. You can add candied ginger in it and it taste awesome, I didn't had it so missing that much, but if you have it please add it in cream cheese mixture and top it along with oranges and it gives nice crunch.

Ingredients :

For crust:

36 or 2 cups crushed graham cracker cookies, crumble
4 tbsp. melted butter

Mix both in serving dish and press it down with spoon to make it nice layer. you can make a tart by spreading this mixture on down only no need to spread it on sides.

For filling
1 8 oz. Dole mandarin oranges, drained the syrup and keep it aside. don't throw it.

1 box (4 servings) vanilla instant pudding
3/4 cup cold milk
3/4 cup whipped cream

Method:

Stir together pudding and milk until slightly thickened.  Layer chopped mandarin oranges on bottom of cookie  shell; pour filling in shell. 
Cover; refrigerate 2 hours or until set.
 Remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.  Garnish with thawed whipped topping, reserved orange slices.

If you have candied ginger add it in cream cheese mixture and top it along with oranges too.
