1. Can I make this Chocolate Orange Cheesecake ahead of time?

Yes! In fact, this cheesecake is the perfect make-ahead dessert. You can prepare it the day before you plan to serve it and allow it to chill in the fridge overnight. This ensures the filling sets properly and enhances the flavors.

2. Can I use other types of chocolate for this recipe?

While Terry's Chocolate Orange gives this cheesecake its signature flavor, you can substitute it with any other chocolate-orange variety, such as Lindt or Galaxy Smooth Orange. If you can't find chocolate orange bars, you can use dark chocolate and add a bit of orange extract to achieve a similar taste.

3. How long should I chill the cheesecake?

For the best results, chill your cheesecake for at least 4-5 hours. However, leaving it to set overnight will allow it to firm up perfectly and give you cleaner slices when serving.

4. Can I make this cheesecake gluten-free?

Absolutely! To make this Chocolate Orange Cheesecake gluten-free, simply use gluten-free biscuits in place of the standard chocolate orange biscuits or Oreos. Ensure all other ingredients are also gluten-free

Instructions

Lightly mist a 20cm (8-inch) loose-bottomed tin with cake release spray and line the bottom and sides with baking paper.
Blitz the chocolate orange biscuits in a food processor until finely ground. Mix with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture into the prepared tin to form a base. Chill in the fridge or freezer while preparing the filling.
Break the chocolate orange bar into small pieces and add to a heatproof bowl with golden syrup. Set the bowl over simmering water and melt until smooth.
Put the mascarpone and half the double cream into a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Add the melted chocolate and remaining cream and beat until the mixture holds soft peaks.
Spoon the filling over the chilled biscuit base and level the top. Chill the cheesecake in the fridge for 4-5 hours or overnight to set.
Melt the topping chocolate and butter in the same method as before. Allow it to cool slightly before drizzling it over the cheesecake.
Decorate with Terry’s Chocolate Orange segments and orange zest strips. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure mascarpone cheese is at room temperature before mixing for a smoother filling.
Chill the cheesecake for at least 6 hours for the best texture.
You can use other chocolate orange brands or dark chocolate with orange extract as substitutes.
Use a sharp knife to slice the cheesecake for neat pieces, dipping it in hot water between slices.
