Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter until evenly moistened. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden, then cool completely.
- Beat room temperature cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar while mixing. Mix in freshly grated orange zest and juice until cohesive.
- Melt dark chocolate and allow to cool slightly. Fold into the cream cheese mixture gently.
- Whip heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the cream cheese and chocolate mixture.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently to eliminate air bubbles.
- Cover the springform pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Remove the cheesecake from the fridge, drizzle melted chocolate over the top, and garnish with orange slices.
