Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 200 g digestive biscuits
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or more to taste
- 100 g butter unsalted
- 120 g chocolate white
- 300 g cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 orange zest and juice only
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 200 ml Double (heavy) cream
Instructions
- Grease a 20cm spring form tin with 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil and then line the base with a circle of baking paper.
- Put 200 g Digestive biscuits into a ziplock bag and using a wooden spoon, bash them until they are crumbs.
- Melt 100 g Butter in a large saucepan. Add the crushed biscuits and 1 teaspoon Cinnamon.
- Stir well.
- Pour the biscuit mixture into the tin and press it down. Be careful not to pack it down too hard, otherwise you will have a very dense and hard base. Chill in the fridge for 45 mins.
- Melt 120 g Chocolate in the microwave, or in a bowl over a pan of hot water (making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water).
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together 300 g Cream cheese, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, juice and zest of 0.5 Orange and 2 tablespoon Honey. Then gently mix in the melted white chocolate.
- In another bowl, whisk 200 ml Double (heavy) cream until it starts to thicken.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Take the base out of the fridge and spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of it.
- Using a palette knife, spread the mixture around until it is smooth.
- Put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. Carefully remove it from the springform tin and use the palette knife to wiggle it from the base. Put it on a serving plate/board and then decorate it with orange slices, peel and cinnamon sticks.
Notes
- Be careful not to pack the base down too hard, otherwise it will be very hard and dense. You want a nice crumbly base.
- Leave the white chocolate to cool a little (but it should still be liquid) before adding it to the cream cheese.
- Why not make this cheesecake even more festive by decorating it with your favourite Christmas decorations?
- Use this cheesecake recipe as a base and then feel free to adapt it with your favourite flavours.
- If you don't have time to leave it to set overnight, it needs a minimum of 4 hours in the fridge.
- Use a palette knife to get a smooth finish on top of the cheesecake.
- It might be tempting to use light cream cheese, but not only will it not have the same flavour, but it will be too runny too.
