White Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Recipe for the Holidays: Part Four
This is a grand twist on the norm and of course based upon my basic cheesecake recipe. The batter is best accompanied by a granola or graham cracker crust. This is a true treat for anyone that loves the taste of a flavorful orange dipped in chocolate.
Filling recipe
- 1 1/2 lbs cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 5 eggs
- 1 whole orange (peeled, pitted, and chopped)
- 1 cup melted white chocolate
Method
1) Cream the cheese’s and sugar together with your kitchen aid mixer or an electric hand held mixer.
2) Slowly add one egg at a time. Let them incorporate fully.
3) Add the white chocolate sauce in a steady stream to the mixture while blending.
4) Add the chopped orange into the batter and fold mixture until blended.
5) Pour batter into a spring-form pan over your crust of choice.
6) Bake this cheesecake at 325 degrees for 2 hours in a water bath.
Graham Cracker Crust

- 1 tbsp butter
Method
Blend all of the ingredients together in a food processor and press into an oiled spring-form pan. Pre-bake the crust for at least 5-8 minutes on 350 to set the crust.
