Description

A rich cheesecake combining chocolate and orange flavors, perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g Oreo cookies
  • 75g unsalted butter, melted
  • 500g cream cheese, softened
  • 80g sour cream
  • 120g caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 80ml orange juice
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 120g dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 150ml heavy cream
  • 15g honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Blend Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, mix with the melted butter, and press the mixture firmly into the pan. Freeze the crust.
  2. Orange Cheesecake Filling: Preheat oven to 140°C (285°F). In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla. Stir in eggs one by one until combined, while avoiding overmixing.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, tapping it to release any air bubbles. Bake on the oven’s lowest rack for 60-70 minutes. Turn off the oven, crack open the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then, cool it at room temperature for another hour and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Chocolate Ganache: Heat the cream with honey until it just simmers. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour warm ganache over the chilled cheesecake, spreading it to the edges. Let the ganache set in the fridge.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Decorate with orange zest or chocolate orange slices as desired. Enjoy this flavorful treat!

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth batter and avoid overmixing after adding eggs to keep the cheesecake creamy.
