White Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Recipe for the Holidays: Part Four

published by Lauren Axelrod on Nov 16, 2008

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

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter

Method

Blend all of the ingredients together is a mixing bowl and press into a oiled spring-form pan. Pre-bake the crust for at least 5-8 minutes on 350 to set the crust.

Granola Crust

  • 2 cups granola
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 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.
