Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or gluten-free digestive biscuit crumbs)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (2 cups) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • Zest of 1 large orange
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly

For the Topping (Optional):

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted (for drizzle)
  • Orange slices or zest curls, for garnish
  • Whipped cream, for piping

Directions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to set.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add cocoa powder, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. Incorporate Chocolate: Gently fold in the melted dark chocolate until the mixture is uniform.
  4. Add Whipped Cream: Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks in a separate bowl, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture to keep it light and airy.
  5. Assemble: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  6. Decorate and Serve: Before serving, drizzle melted chocolate over the top, garnish with orange slices, zest curls, or whipped cream. Slice and enjoy!

FAQs

Can I make this cheesecake gluten-free?
Yes! Use gluten-free graham crackers or digestive biscuits for the crust.

How long does this cheesecake last?
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month (without toppings).

Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark?
Absolutely, but dark chocolate balances the sweetness and enhances the orange flavor. Adjust sugar to taste if using milk chocolate.

Do I need a springform pan?
It’s ideal for easy removal, but you can use a regular 8-inch pan lined with parchment for easier lifting.

Can I skip the orange juice?
You can, but it intensifies the citrus flavor. Replace with a teaspoon of orange extract if needed.
