Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Orange Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter, then press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
- Beat room-temperature cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and mix in fresh orange zest and juice.
- Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, then whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold it in carefully.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove the sides of the springform pan, drizzle with melted chocolate, and add fresh orange slices before serving.
