Chocolate Orange Cheesecake

Method

• step 1

  Crush the hobknobs and melt the butter, mix together and add to the cake tin, spreading evenly (use baking paper so it doesn't stick). Put in fridge for 1 hour to set.

• step 2

  Once the hour is almost up, add the 250g of cream cheese into a large bowl and beat with a wooden spoon to soften. In a separate bowl whip the 225ml of double cream into soft peaks and place in fridge for now.

• step 3

  In a bain-marie melt 1 chocolate chocolate orange, allow to cool, but not set. Pour the chocolate into the cream and mix. Once mixed add the chocolate & cream to the cream cheese and mix thoroughly. Spread over the base.

• step 4

  At this point, break up the remaining chocolate orange. Grate the segments (leaving 8 segments whole) over the cheesecake to create a decorative topping. Now add the 8 remaining segments evenly spaced onto the cheesecake. Place in fridge to set for 4 hours.
