Crust
Assembly
1.
Combine crust ingredients in a large bowl so that the butter is evenly distributed.
2.
Pour into prepared pan and spread it out to the edges. Use the bottom of a glass to pack tightly, pushing the crumbs halfway up the edges. Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes.
3.
Place sugar and orange zest into large bowl or stand mixer. Use fingers to rub the zest into the sugar until it becomes pale orange and starts to clump together.
4.
Add cream cheese into the orange sugar and beat with a stand or electric mixer until fully smooth. Crack in eggs one by one, beating until fully smooth and scraping down the sides.
5.
Once all of the eggs are added, melt the chocolate and cream on top of a double boiler or in the microwave and let cool to room temperature.
6.
Add the melted chocolate, sour cream, vanilla, and orange juice. Mix and scrape the bowl frequently.
7.
Place cheesecake inside a waterbath and bake. It’s ready when the edges are set and the middle is still jiggly. Leave the oven door open for 20 minutes and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven.
8.
Chill the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight to completely set.
9.
Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips. Cover and sit for 7 minutes, whisk until smooth, and top the cheesecake.
10.
Top with candied orange slices (full details on how to make them in the full recipe) and Terry's chocolate orange wedges.
