Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Orange zest curls (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition. Stir in sour cream and heavy cream until combined.
  4. Blend in melted chocolate, orange zest, and fresh orange juice until smooth.
  5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Wrap the springform pan in foil and place it in a larger baking dish filled halfway with hot water.
  6. Bake for 55–65 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center. Turn off the oven and crack open the door; let cheesecake cool inside for an hour.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
