Instructions:

 

1. **Prepare the Crust:**
– Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
– In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
– Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, and up the sides a little. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.

2. **Make the Cheesecake Filling:**
– In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
– Gradually add sugar, beating until combined.
– Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
– Stir in vanilla extract, orange zest, and lemon zest.
– Blend in sour cream and heavy cream until smooth.

3. **Assemble the Cheesecake:**
– Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan.
– Drop spoonfuls of orange marmalade and lemon curd onto the cheesecake filling.
– Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the marmalade and curd into the filling to create a marbled effect.

4. **Bake the Cheesecake:**
– Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
– Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
– Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

5. **Decorate the Cheesecake:**
– Once the cheesecake is fully set and chilled, carefully remove it from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
– Decorate the top with meringue kisses, fresh citrus slices, and mint leaves.
