Indulge in a decadent choc-orange cheesecake to savor the Easter season.
Ingredients:
  • 8 chocolate hot cross buns, split
  • 500g cream cheese, softened
  • 165g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 tsp finely grated orange rind
  • 21.00 gm orange juice
  • 300g sour cream
  • Thickened cream, whipped, to serve
  • Orange-flavoured dark chocolate, broken into shards, to decorate
  • Milk chocolate orange balls, chopped, to decorate
  • Assorted Easter chocolates, to decorate
  • Chocolate fudge topping, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 150°C. Grease a 20cm springform pan and line it with baking paper for easy removal.
  • Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Toast the hot cross buns cut-side down in batches for about 2 minutes until lightly golden. Secure the bun tops around the pan's side, cross-side out, and line the base with the trimmed bun bases.
  • In a bowl, use an electric mixer to beat smooth the cream cheese and sugar. Mix in flour, vanilla, orange rind, and orange juice until combined. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Stir in sour cream until just combined. Pour over the bun bases in the prepared pan.
  • Place the pan on a baking tray and bake for 1 hour until the filling is set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool with the door ajar for 2 hours. Chill in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight before serving.
  • Place the cheesecake on a serving platter and generously layer with a mixture of chocolate and chocolate topping.
