Steps For Making Cheesecake Orange Recipe

  1. 1. Prepare the Base:

    1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
    2. Crush the digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) into fine crumbs.
    3. Combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter in a bowl and mix until evenly coated.
    4. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out evenly.
    5. Bake the base in the oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.

    2. Make the Filling:

    1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
    2. Add the heavy cream, eggs, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well combined, but avoid overmixing to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
    3. Pour the filling over the cooled biscuit base, spreading it evenly.

    3. Bake the Cheesecake:

    1. Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaks, and place it in a larger roasting pan.
    2. Pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath to prevent cracks).
    3. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 50–60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
    4. Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent it from sinking or cracking.

    4. Prepare the Orange Glaze (Optional):

    1. In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir until smooth.
    2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes glossy.
    3. Let the glaze cool slightly before spreading it over the top of the cooled cheesecake.

    5. Chill and Decorate:

    1. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
    2. Decorate with thin slices of fresh orange or candied orange peel for an elegant finish.

    6. Serve and Enjoy:

    1. Gently remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
    2. Slice and serve chilled for the ultimate citrusy indulgence!

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I use a different type of biscuit for the base?

Yes, you can substitute digestive biscuits with graham crackers, gingersnaps, or even chocolate cookies for a twist in flavor.

Can I make this cheesecake without a water bath?

A water bath helps prevent cracks, but if you don’t want to use one, bake the cheesecake at a slightly lower temperature and keep an eye on it. Cracks can also be covered with the orange glaze or decorations!

How long can I store the cheesecake?

You can store the cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Alternatively, freeze it (without the glaze) for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

How do I know when the cheesecake is done baking?

The edges should be set, but the center should still have a slight jiggle when you gently shake the pan. It will firm up as it cools.

Can I add other flavors to the cheesecake?

Absolutely! You can add a hint of spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling, or swirl in some melted white chocolate for a decadent touch.

What if I don’t have a springform pan?

You can use a regular cake pan lined with parchment paper for easy removal, but a springform pan is highly recommended for neat edges.
