Steps:
- Lightly grease and line a 20cm springform cake tin. To make the base, put the biscuits and butter in a food processor, pulse into fine crumbs, then tip into the tin. Spread evenly over the base and press down firmly with the back of a spoon. Put the tin in the freezer and leave to set for 30 mins.
- Put a large piece of foil (extra-wide foil if possible) on the work surface, or criss-cross two pieces of small foil. Place the cake tin in the centre of the foil and bring up the sides to create a foil bowl around the cheesecake. Place in a medium-sized roasting tin.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. To make the filling, put the eggs and egg yolks in a food processor and blitz until well combined. Add the cheese, cream, sugar, orange zest and orange liqueur to the food processor and pulse until only just combined. Pour the cheesecake filling gently onto the chilled base.
- Add enough just-boiled water to the roasting tin to rise roughly 2cm up the sides. Carefully place the roasting tin in the centre of the oven and bake for about 1 hr 15 mins. The cheesecake is ready when it is very lightly browned and only just set.
- Take out of the oven and sprinkle with the grated chocolate. Leave to cool in the water bath for 15 mins. Lift the cake tin from the water and leave to cool for a further 1 hr. Cover with cling film and chill the cheesecake overnight before serving.
- To serve, run a round-bladed knife around the cheesecake and carefully release it from the tin. Using a palette knife, slide the cheesecake onto a flat serving plate or cake stand and cut into wedges to serve.

This dessert is elegant enough to serve at a dinner party and everyone will think it took you hours to prepare. A light dessert that won't make you feel heavy. It states that you should have a pastry bag with fitted tips to make a pretty presentation, but you can just spoon it into a parfait glass or even wine glasses. Garnishing is up to you. Chocolate curls, a strawberry fan, a few blueberries on top. Go wild and enjoy. Cook time does not include chill time.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your mousse. Choose a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the cream is cold: Cold cream will whip up better and produce a lighter, fluffier mousse.
- Don't overbeat the cream: Overbeaten cream will become grainy and lose its volume. Beat the cream just until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the chocolate gently: Folding in the chocolate too vigorously will deflate the mousse. Use a spatula and gently fold the chocolate into the whipped cream until just combined.
- Chill the mousse before serving: Chilling the mousse will help it set and develop its flavor. Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
