Orange Cheesecake
Orange Cheesecake
This is a very simple cheesecake to make even if I do say so myself! It only uses 250g cream cheese so logically it is not as large as many of the other ones which use double the amount. However, you can use this recipe to make mini-cheesecakes, so instead of making one large one, you could alternatively make eight small ones.
At first the idea of making orange cheesecake sounded just a tad “unusual” to me, however it really does taste good! And somehow the presence of “real fruit chunks” even enables you to convince yourself that this cheesecake is moderately healthy for you!
If you don’t happen to have any gelatin handy, an alternative way is to omit the gelatin and pop the whole thing in the freezer as opposed to the refrigerator at the end! This will give you a delightful frozen cheesecake, however as the name suggests, if you leave it out for too long, it will melt!
Orange Cheesecake
Ingredients:
Base: 250g plain sweet biscuits, 125g unsalted butter melted
Filling: 4 oranges, 250g cream cheese softened, 1 tsp grated orange rind, ¾ cup condensed milk, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp orange juice, 10g gelatin, 2 tbsp hot water, ½ cup (125mL) cream to decorate
Steps: Lightly grease a 20cm diameter springform tin.
To make the filling, wash the oranges then using a knife cut the peel off, cutting only deep enough to remove all the white membrane. Then cut the oranges into segments. Reserve the segments of one orange to decorate the cake, and cut the remainder into small pieces.
Using electric beater beat the cream cheese and orange rind in a small bowl until light and creamy. Gradually add the condensed milk, lemon and orange juice, dissolve the gelatin in the water and add to the mixture then beat on medium speed for 5 minutes or until smooth and increased in volume. Fold in the chopped orange.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared tin and smooth the surface. (If necessary, remove any excess biscuit edging from the sides carefully using a metal spoon.) Refrigerate overnight. Decorate with whipped cream and slivers of orange.

I think that's why a lot of people prefer to just eat it, and deny the idea of it having so much cream cheese...
