Ingredients
For the base:
200 g (7 oz) digestive biscuits, crushed
100 g (3.5 oz) butter, melted
For the cheesecake mixture:
2 whole Terry’s Chocolate Oranges (157 g each)
500 ml (2 cups) double cream, whipped
560 g (1.2 lb) full-fat cream cheese
100 g (3.5 oz) icing sugar
Juice of half a lemon
2 tsp orange extract (optional)
For decoration:
100 g (3.5 oz) white chocolate
100 ml (0.5 cups) double cream, whipped
12 Terry’s Chocolate Orange segments (about 1 whole chocolate orange)
Orange gel food colouring (optional)
Instructions
- Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the base of a 7-inch springform tin and smooth the surface. Chill while preparing the filling.
- Gently melt the two Terry’s Chocolate Oranges in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the whipped double cream, cream cheese, icing sugar, lemon juice, and orange extract (if using). Mix until smooth.
- Pour in the cooled melted chocolate and fold gently until the mixture is silky and evenly combined.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top with a palette knife or spoon.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. To speed things up, chill in the freezer for 2 hours.
- Once set, remove from the tin and place on a serving plate.
- For the topping, melt the white chocolate and stir in a touch of orange gel food colouring if desired. Allow it to cool slightly, then drizzle over the cheesecake.
- Pipe whipped cream around the edges and decorate with Terry’s Chocolate Orange segments.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and set.
Chill overnight for a firmer, creamier cheesecake.
Add orange extract or zest for a stronger citrus flavor.
For a darker version, use half milk and half dark chocolate orange.
Can be frozen in slices and thawed overnight in the fridge before serving.
