Orange cream cheesecake bites



Yey for cheesecake!
This is a super easy recipe, enjoy and be sure to comment if you try it.



2 cups of ground cookie crumbs. You can use almost any kind of dry cookies with out creme middles. I have tried vanilla wafers, gram crackers, coconut and lemon cookies. The coconut is awesome.
1/2 stick of meted butter
2 8oz packages of cream cheese. 
3/4 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of frozen orange juice concentrate, melted.
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract or 1/8 teaspoon vanilla powder ( keep it halal)

Pre heat your oven to 325 and set rack to the middle.

Grind up cookies in a food processor until course and poor into a large bowl.
Drizzle in melted butter over cookie crumbs and mix well. If you need to add more butter do so a tsp at a time.
Press the crust mixture into a 6x9 baking dish and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, vanilla, orange juice concentrate and eggs, blend on medium-high until smooth.
Pour over your crust and smooth out.

Bake 30-45 min or until the edges puff up and the middle is dry to the touch.

Once it has has cooled, you can spread orange marmalade or orange curd in a thin layer over the top to make it look pretty, or you can just eat it as is.
