100g butter, melted, plus extra to grease
375g Oreo Chocolate Flavoured Creme
biscuits
FOR THE FILLING
600g full-cream cream cheese
225g caster sugar
3 medium eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
finely grated zest of 1 orange
about 2,5cm up sides of tin. Press firmly in
place with the back of a spoon. Bake for
10 minutes, remove from oven and reduce
temperature to 160°C.
- For the filling, using a hand-held electric
whisk, beat cream cheese and caster
sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at
a time, followed by the vanilla, orange zest
and orange liqueur. - Measure 200g of the filling into a
separate bowl; mix in cocoa powder.
Spoon orange-flavoured filling into biscuit

heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase
heat to medium-high, bring to the boil and
add orange slices in a single layer. Bubble
for 10 minutes, turning slices halfway
through. Reduce heat; simmer gently for 15
to 20 minutes, turning slices occasionally,
until oranges are tender and translucent
(and sugar syrup remains uncaramelised).
Remove slices with a slotted spoon onto
a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cool. - When ready to serve, transfer
cheesecake to a cake stand or plate,
removing baking paper. Top with the
Chantilly cream and candied-orange
slices. Serve in slices.
