METHODS
- To make the Caramelised Oranges:
- Place the Oranges in a pan with 600ml Water
- Bring to the boil and simmer uncovered for 1 hour

- Return to the pan with the reserved cooking fluid
- Add the Sugar
- Cook over a very low heat for about 45 minutes until the Oranges are caramelised
- Set the Oranges aside to cool
- To make the cheesecake:
- Grease and line 26cm loose bottomed cake tin
- Crush the Chocolate Chip Cookies well
- Mix the biscuits in with the melted Butter
- Spread the biscuits evenly over the whole of the cake tin base
- Press down well
- Preheat the oven to 180C 350F Gas mark 4
- Whisk the sugar and eggs together until pale and creamy
- Gradually add the room temperature Mascarpone, Crème Fraiche and Yoghurt stirring gently all the time
- Pour into the cake tin
- Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes
- Remove from the oven and run a knife carefully around the outside -this allows the cheesecake to shrink as it cools without cracking
- Leave to cool, remove carefully then serve with shaved chocolate and whipped cream
