- 1. Preheat the oven to 170 C / Gas mark 3. In a medium bowl mix together the Biscuit Crumbs, Sugar and Butter until well blended. Press into the bottom and 4cm up the side of a 23cm springform tin. Bake the base for 10 minutes.
- 2. In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water melt Chocolate stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside to cool but do not allow to harden.
- 3. In a medium bowl mix together the Cream Cheese and 200g Sugar until smooth. Mix in the Eggs one at a time on a low speed or by hand. Gradually stir in the Orange Juice and Orange Zest. Reserve 500ml of the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the baked base. Stir the melted chocolate into the reserved batter. Drop the chocolate batter by large spoonfuls onto the white batter. Use a knife to cut through the batter to form a swirling design.
- 4. Bake for 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the centre is almost set. Run a spatula or thin knife around the edge of the pan while it is still warm, so the cake will not crack. Allow cake to cool completely before removing the sides of the pan. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
