GARNISH, IF DESIRED

CRUST: Spray 9-inch springform pan with nonstick vegetable spray. Blend

pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool.

FILLING: Pour orange juice into small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over
orange juice and let soften 1 minute. Heat, stirring constantly, until
gelatin dissolves (about 3 minutes). Blend cream cheese and ricotta cheese
in a large bowl until smooth. Prepare whipped topping according to package
directions, substituting milk for water. Fold whipped topping into cheese
mixture. Stir in chopped oranges. Spoon into prepared crust and spread
evenly. Chill 6 hours or overnight. Garnish with orange sections, if
desired. Makes one 9-inch cheesecake or 16 servings, 1 slice per serving.

I did not make this -- only tasted the results and it was very good. Also,
I can't imagine getting 16 slices from a 9 inch cheesecake, but that's what
the directions said. I definitely had a large piece than that. ;-)~
