Mandarin Cheesecake with Sumo Citrus Glaze
Have you heard of the latest citrus craze? Sumo Citrus. Also known as Sumo Tangerines or Dekopon in Japan, where they originate from.
They are now available in the United States, distributed by Melissa’s Produce and are the most wonderful, plump, sweet citrus fruit you will ever taste. Easy to peel and SUMO in size, these gems can weigh up to one pound. Don’t judge a citrus by it’s cover, SUMO citrus might be cosmetically challenged but inside, it is full of honey-sweet, juicy goodness that will captivate you at first bite.
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit a SUMO orchard in California’s Central Valley. Surrounded by rows upon rows of fragrant citrus trees that also included W. Mercott Mandarins and funny looking Finger Limes. But the star of the tour was the SUMO Citrus.

The experience was unbelievable. We got to sample some of the world’s best citrus and although they are delicious as is, I just had to cook with these beautiful jewels.
Since I’ve been ranting and raving about how juicy SUMO Citrus is, I decided to share mandarin cheesecake recipe. But not just any mandarin cheesecake, this cheesecakes is covered with SUMO citrus glaze, taking this dessert to the next level.
The cheesecake was so delicious, my 4-year-old was willing to be my photography assistant for the day in order to get his little hands on on a slice.
Make this incredible cheesecake for your next special occasion, but don’t wait too long because SUMO Tangerines are the hot trend and might be gone in just a few weeks. Find them in the produce section of your nearest grocery store or order from Melissa’s Produce online.
