Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 500 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 200 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Orange extract
- 50 grams Dark chocolate (for garnish)
- 4 slices Candied orange slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the base with parchment paper.
Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then mix it thoroughly with the cookie crumbs until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy, using a hand or stand mixer.
Gradually pour in the melted chocolate, beating continuously to fully incorporate.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined and fluffy.
Add the orange zest and orange extract, stirring gently until evenly distributed.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
For garnish, shave dark chocolate on top and add candied orange slices if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Chocolate Orange Cheesecake!
