You may think this recipe calls for a lot of work for just 4 cheesecakes - but once tried, you'll agree they are well worth it.
Delicious Orange Cheesecakes
Makes 4 individual cheese-cakes
50g (2oz) Anchor Butter
50g (2oz) Chocolate Orange Jaffa cakes, roughly chopped
100g (4oz) Chocolate Digestive biscuits, crushed
280ml double cream
200g (8oz) cream cheese
30ml (2tbsp) caster sugar
60ml (4tbsp) orange juice (‘with bits’)
45ml (3tbsp) orange liqueur
Chocolate Orange segments or orange flavoured chocolate
Drinking chocolate/cocoa for dusting
Orange rind for decoration
Line four individual ramekin dishes with cling film, place on a baking sheet
Take chopped cakes and crushed biscuits, and mix together in a bowl Melt butter and add to biscuits, thoroughly combine together.
Take double cream and whisk until starting to thicken, add cream cheese and sugar, and mix together. Add orange juice and orange liqueur, gradually and mix all together. Spoon into ramekin dishes and place in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
When thoroughly cooled and set, carefully remove the cheesecakes from the dishes and peel off the cling film.
Place on serving plate, sprinkle with drinking chocolate/cocoa and decorate with chocolate wedge & orange rind, or use your own favourite type of decoration.
