It's made up of a buttery biscuit base, orange cheesecake, a hidden orange jelly layer and topped with a chocolate ganache.
What you'll need
- 1 packet orange jelly cubes
- 150 g Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 500 g Full Fat Cream Cheese (philadelphia or mascarpone)
- 100 g Icing Sugar
- 2 tsp Orange Extract
- 300 ml Double Cream
- 100 ml Double Cream
- 100 g Dark Chocolate
- 12 Jaffa Cakes
How to make
Jelly Layer
-
Add jelly cubes to a bowl, pour 200ml of boiling water over cubes. Whisk to dissolve.
-
Once dissolved, pour in 200ml of cold water, whisk again. Leave to cool for 10minutes or so.
-
Line a shallow round dish with several layers of clingfilm.
-
Pour jelly in and place in the freezer to allow it to set. Once set, continue with the rest of the cheesecake.
For the Biscuit Base
-
Add biscuits to a food processor or bag, and break them up into a fine crumb.
-
Add in melted butter and stir to combine.
-
Pour into cheesecake tin, pressing down firmly.
For the Cheesecake
-
Add Cream Cheese, Icing Sugar, and Orange Extract to a large bowl and whisk until a smooth texture.
-
Pour in Double Cream and whisk again until thick.
-
Spread 1/3 of the mixture onto the biscuit base, and add the set jelly layer on top as carefully as you can, and as centrally as you can.
-
Spoon the cheesecake mix around the edge of the jelly, then spread the rest of the cheesecake mix on top.
-
Set the cheesecake in the fridge for 5-6 hours or overnight, to make a better set.
Decoration
-
Add 100ml of Double Cream to a pan, and bring to just before boiling point.
-
Chop Dark Chocolate up finely and add to a bowl. Pour hot cream over chocolate, and leave for five minutes without stiring.
-
Once the five minutes are up, stir the ganache until smooth. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
-
Spread ganache over top of cheesecake, and add some Jaffa cakes for decoration.
-
Leave to set the ganache slightly before serving, and then enjoy!
