Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

For crust
about 30 chocolate wafers, ground fine in a blender or food processor (1 3/4 cups)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
For filling
1 1/2 pounds cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream at room temperature
2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest (from about 4 navel oranges)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 large whole eggs
1 large egg yolk
For glaze:
3/4 cup orange and tangerine marmalade* (about 7 1/2 ounces)
*available at some specialty food shops.

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • In a small bowl stir together wafer crumbs and butter until combined well. Pat crumb mixture onto bottom and 1 inch up side of a 9-inch springform pan and chill crust 30 minutes.
  • Make filling:
  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in sugar gradually until mixture is combined well. Beat in sour cream, zest, orange juice, liqueur, salt, and flour. Beat in whole eggs and yolk, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Wrap bottom and side of springform pan with three 14- by 12-inch pieces of foil, 1 at a time, arranging each piece in a different position to make sure foil is at least 1 1/2 inches up side all around. Put pan in a large baking dish and pour filling into crust. Put dish in middle of oven and with a measuring cup slowly add enough water to it to reach 1/4 inch up side of springform pan, being careful not to let any water inside foil. (Cooling in water bath prevents cheesecake surface from cracking.)
  • Bake cheesecake 1 hour 15 minutes, or until edges are just set but middle still trembles slightly. Turn off oven and let cheesecake stand 1 hour (cheesecake will continue to set as it stands). Remove dish from oven carefully and transfer cheesecake in pan to a rack to cool completely. Remove foil and chill cheesecake, covered loosely, 6 hours or overnight.
  • Make glaze:
  • In a small saucepan melt marmalade over moderate heat, stirring, and cool to warm.
  • Remove side of springform pan and spread marmalade evenly on top of cheesecake. Chill cheesecake 2 hours (glaze will soften if served at room temperature).

I would not recommend this recipe. It's too complicated and the results are not worth the effort.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cheesecake turned out a complete disaster. It was a waste of time and ingredients.

This recipe is not very clear. I had to guess at a few things, and my cheesecake didn't turn out very well.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out right. The crust was too hard, and the filling was too runny.

This cheesecake was very easy to make, but it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was a bit too crumbly, and the filling was a bit too dense.

The glaze was a bit too tart for my liking, but the cheesecake itself was very good.

This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good.

This cheesecake was an absolute delight! The combination of chocolate and orange was perfect, and the orange-tangerine glaze added a wonderful burst of flavor. The crust was also very good, and it held up well to the filling.
