Description

Lusciously smooth chocolate orange cheesecake, with a crunchy Oreo biscuit base. A deliciously simple Christmas bake everyone will love!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BASE:
  • 2 cups Oreo Cookies, Put Into Food Processor And Blitzed Into Crumbs
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, Melted And Slightly Cooled
  • FOR THE CHEESECAKE LAYER:
  • 12 ounces, weight Full Fat Cream Cheese
  • 2  Large Eggs
  • ½ cups White Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Orange Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
  • ½ cups Chocolate Orange, Chopped Into Small Chunks, Melted
  • Whipped Cream And Grated Chocolate, For Garnish (optional)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF) and grease and line and 8×8 inch square pan. I used grease proof paper and Wilton Bake Easy.

Add the Oreo crumbs into a medium-sized bowl and then pour melted butter over them. Stir until all the crumbs are coated in butter. Transfer into your prepared pan and press into a level layer, using your hands or a spatula (I used my hands).

Place into the oven for 10–12 minutes until slightly puffy and a the top feels a little bit crisp. Then remove and set aside for 5 minutes.

For the cheesecake layer, place cream cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, orange extract and cocoa powder into a large bowl and beat until smooth, around 2 minutes with a hand mixer on medium-high speed. Pour in the melted chocolate and mix on low until well incorporated.

Pour cheesecake mixture on top of the biscuit base and smooth until level. Sprinkle the top with chunks of chocolate orange and place in the oven for 20–25 minutes until risen, the edges look matte and the centre only wobbles a little bit. If you stick a skewer into the centre, it should come out clean, bar a few crumbs.

Cool in the pan completely. Once cooled, transfer to a cutting board and slice into 9-12 bars.

To serve, add a dollop of whipped cream, or pipe a swirl of it onto a cheesecake bar and then sprinkle with grated chocolate. Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Bars will keep in an airtight container, in the fridge, for 3 days.
