Steps:
- Crush the biscuits roughly - either put them in a plastic food bag and crush with a rolling pin, or whizz them in a food processor to chunky crumbs. Transfer to a bowl, mix in the melted butter and tip into a 23cm springform tin. Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press the biscuit mixture evenly to form the base. Chill until set, about 30 mins.
- Put the soft cheese, zest, milk and icing sugar into a bowl and blend using an electric mixer until smooth. Add the cream and whisk until the mixture is the consistency of thick custard. Pour the filling over the biscuit base and spread evenly. Return to the fridge and chill until set, at least 4 hrs or overnight.
- To serve, top with the orange segments and scatter over the pomegranate seeds.

POMEGRANATE-GLAZED ORANGE CHEESECAKE RECIPE
For all its virtues, the pomegranate doesn't exactly reach out and grab the cook. It doesn't release a burst of fragrance, the way a lemon or an orange does the instant the knife pierces its skin. There's no inspiring rush of juice like the nectar of a peach or fig. None of the evocative crunch of an apple. But it's fall. They're in season. And they're so beautiful. So, we began to experiment. And our first effort -- a creamy orange cheesecake covered with an impossibly red pomegranate glaze and sparkling seeds -- confirmed our hunch: This is one seriously neglected fruit. To toast almonds, heat a dry skillet and add the nuts, shaking the skillet often, for about 5 minutes. From the story: Behold a blazing beauty

ORANGE CHEESECAKE
I got this recipe from my Dad, who got it off a recipe card. Not satisfied with the orange flavor of the original recipe, I tweaked a few ingredients to make it more intense. You can use your own graham cracker crust recipe if you prefer; we like the store-bought Oreo (dark chocolate) crust.

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges and pomegranates: Fresh fruits add the best flavor to this cheesecake. If you can't find fresh oranges or pomegranates, you can use frozen or canned fruit, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter: Overbeating the batter will make the cheesecake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving: The cheesecake needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This allows the cheesecake to set and develop its flavor.
- Garnish the cheesecake with fresh orange slices and pomegranate seeds: This adds a pop of color and flavor to the cheesecake.
Conclusion:
This orange pomegranate cheesecake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet oranges and tart pomegranates is a perfect balance of flavors. The cheesecake is also creamy and smooth, with a graham cracker crust that adds a nice crunch. This cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it and it's a perfect way to enjoy the flavors of oranges and pomegranates.
