Cheesecake recipe with orange

Cheesecake recipe with orange:

Ingredients:

For the basics:

200 g biscuits (graham crackers, vanilla or chocolate)
100 g butter

For the filling:

750 g of soft curd cheese
200 g sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
2 tablespoons flour
Juice and zest of 2 oranges

For orange topping:

Juice of 1 orange
2 tablespoons of sugar

Instructions:

Prepare the baking dish by greasing it with oil or using baking paper.

Chop the cookies into crumbs. Melt the butter and mix it with the cookies.

Spread the resulting mixture evenly over the bottom of the mold, tamp it down and put it in the refrigerator.

In a preheated 160 degree C (325 degree F) oven, bake the base of the cheesecake for about 10 minutes. Then remove the mold from the oven and leave to cool.

In a bowl, whisk the curd cheese until soft. Add the sugar and continue to beat.

Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating the mass after each addition.

Add vanilla sugar, flour, juice and orange zest. Mix thoroughly.

Pour the curd mass onto the prepared base in the mold.

Bake in the oven at 160 degrees C (325 degrees F) for about 50-60 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake becomes elastic.

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in it for another 1 hour, then cool completely in the refrigerator.

In a small saucepan, mix the orange juice and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook over medium heat until the liquid becomes thick and syrupy.

Pour the orange syrup over the top of the curd layer in the mold.

Before serving, decorate the cheesecake with orange circles or sprinkle with zest.
