Chocolate Orange Cheesecake

This recipe is actually a variation of my Chocolate Orange Sauce, though I first made it using Galaxy Caramel bars instead of a Chocolate Orange. Served one it's own or with a rich sauce, it makes a great dessert

30 mins 180 mins 210 mins

Ingredients

  • 250g Marscapone Cheese
  • 1/2 Pack Digestive Biscuits
  • 1 Terrys Chocolate Orange
  • 2 Scoops Vanilla Icecream (you can use double cream if you prefer)
  • 250g Butter or Margarine
  • 1 cup Caster Sugar (Granulated works too)
  • 1 Bag Aero Orange Bubbles (optional)

Method

  1. Crush the digestive biscuits into a powder
  2. Melt 100g Butter in a saucepan
  3. Stir in the biscuit crumbs until all butter is absorbed and biscuit looks slightly darker in colour
  4. Press biscuit into the bottom of the cake tin(s) to form a base
  5. Place in the fridge to set
  6. Break up the Terrys Chocolate Orange and place in a saucepan
  7. Add the remainder of the butter and place over a gentle heat
  8. Stir until a thick chocolatey paste (free of lumps) has been formed
  9. Stir in the two scoops of Ice-Cream and continue heating until fluid
  10. Pour into a bowl and set aside until later
  11. Place the Mascarpone in a mixing bowl and add the sugar
  12. With a wooden spoon start stirring the Marscapone until it softens
  13. Pour in most of the Chocolate-Orange mixture
  14. Stir until the chocolate mix is fully mixed in with the Marscapone, the cheese should be very soft at this point (the odd air bubble might form)
  15. Remove the biscuit base from the fridge
  16. Pour the remainder of the chocolate mixture over the base
  17. With a butter knife, spread thick lumps of the Mascarpone mixture over the biscuit to build up the topping until it reaches the top of the tin (or you run out of mixture!)
  18. The chocolate mixture should mix with the cheesemix a little to give a marbled effect
  19. Decorate the top with the Aero bubbles
  20. Place in the fridge for at least 3 hours
  21. When removed from the fridge, carefully run a sharp knife around the edge of the tin before pressing the bottom out.
