This is a no-bake cheesecake so really does require minimal effort but will wow dinner guests or family this Christmas because its big on flavour and full of all the fun things in life. I recently made this for the second year running for my #friendmas and it went down a treat yet again.
Ingredients
Cheesecake Filling:
500g full-fat cream cheese
85g icing sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon orange extract
2 x 175g Terry’s chocolate orange (1 normal & 1 dark chocolate)
300ml double cream
Biscuit Base:
600g chocolate digestive biscuits
280g unsalted butter
Decoration:
Terry’s chocolate orange segments, mix of normal and dark
Putting it all Together
To prepare the base: Melt the butter in the microwave. Whizz the biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined. Tip the mixture into a 23cm springform cake tin and press down until firm smoothing over with the back of the spoon. Pop in the fridge to chill and get started on filling.
Melt the chocolate orange over a bain-marie and leave to cool slightly. In a mixing bowl beat together the cream cheese, orange extract and the icing sugar until softened. In another bowl whisk the cream until soft peaks form.
Fold the cream cheese and cream together and then pour in the chocolate and fold through.
Get the tin out of the fridge and then spoon the chocolatey cheesecake mixture over the biscuit base and smooth over with a spatula. Pop the orange segments on in an alternating pattern, cover and pop back in the fridge to chill for around 6 hours, or if you can overnight.
When you are ready to serve to all those hungry people, remove the cheesecake from the tin and decorate.
Serve with some cream and you are good to go. Christmas in a cheesecake!
