Step 1
To make crust: Combine flour, sugar and grated orange rind. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg yolk and vanilla; blend well. Pat one-third of the dough on the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 400° for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Pat remaining dough evenly around sides to a half-inch of the top.
To make filling: Have cream cheese at room temperature. Combine cheese, sugar, flour, orange rind, salt and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with electric mixer at low speed until smooth. Beat in eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in undiluted orange concentrate. Pour into prepared pan. Place aluminum foil under pan on oven rack and bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until crust browns lightly. Reduce heat to 225° and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes longer. Cool slowly at room temperature then refrigerate. Garnish with orange sections and mint sprigs.
