  9. Pour the pineapple cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust, followed by the orange cream cheese mixture.
  10. Use a knife to gently swirl the two mixtures together to create a marbled effect.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set.

  13. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
