Cheesecake is a classic dessert, loved by many, and is often celebrated in various forms around the world. This recipe not only replaces traditional holiday cakes but also brings a fresh touch to the festive table. Necessary ingredients: *For the biscuit base:* - 1 large pack of cocoa Oreo cookies (about 400 g) - 100 g digestive biscuits - 2 tablespoons melted butter - 50 ml cold milk - 1 tablespoon honey *For the cheese filling:* - 400 g cottage cheese - 150 g sour cream - 2 tablespoons semolina - 1 tablespoon cornstarch - 3 egg yolks - 3-4 tablespoons powdered sweetener (or sugar, to taste) - 1 tablespoon orange essence - 2-3 tablespoons candied orange peel, diced *For the orange jelly:* - 2 oranges or mandarins - 50 ml water (for boiling) - 50 ml water (for hydrating gelatin) - 1-2 tablespoons raw sugar (to taste) - 1 tablespoon granulated gelatin Preparation: *Step 1: Preparing the base* 1. Start by crushing the Oreo cookies and digestive biscuits in a food processor. Do not process too finely, you want to keep some texture. 2. Transfer the crushed cookies to a bowl and add the melted butter, cold milk, and honey. Mix well until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. 3. Prepare a round baking pan with a diameter of 20 cm, greasing the base and sides with cold butter. Press the cookie mixture into the pan with the back of a spoon to form an even layer. 4. Place the pan in the refrigerator to firm up the base while you prepare the filling. *Step 2: Preparing the cheese filling* 1. In the food processor, add the cottage cheese and blend until it becomes a smooth paste, without lumps. 2. Add the sour cream, semolina, cornstarch, egg yolks, powdered sweetener, and orange essence. Blend everything for a few seconds until the ingredients are perfectly combined. 3. Finally, fold in the candied orange peel with a spatula, adding a splash of flavor and extra texture to the filling. 4. Remove the base from the refrigerator and pour the cheese filling over it. Level the surface with a spatula for an even appearance. *Step 3: Baking the cheesecake* 1. Preheat the oven to 150-160°C. 2. Place the pan in the oven and let it bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling no longer wobbles when touched and has formed a light golden crust. 3. After baking, allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan. This step is essential to avoid cracking. *Step 4: Preparing the orange jelly* 1. Peel the oranges and break them into pieces. Place them in a saucepan with 50 ml of water and let them boil for 5-10 minutes until they soften well. 2. Meanwhile, hydrate the gelatin in 50 ml of cold water. 3. Use an immersion blender to turn the hot oranges into a fine puree. Add the sugar and hydrated gelatin, mixing until completely dissolved. 4. Let the jelly cool until it becomes warm, then carefully pour it over the cooled cheesecake. *Step 5: Cooling and serving* 1. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or ideally overnight, to set well. 2. When ready, carefully remove the detachable ring from the pan and slice the cheesecake. 3. Serve it plain or with a berry sauce for an extra burst of flavor. Practical tips: - If you can't find candied orange peel, you can use freshly grated zest for a more intense flavor. - Instead of Oreo cookies, you could try vanilla-flavored digestive biscuits or even cocoa biscuits. - The powdered sweetener can be adjusted according to your preferences, but make sure it dissolves well in the filling. Nutritional benefits: Orange cheesecake is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein, while oranges provide a generous dose of vitamin C, important for the immune system. Semolina adds fiber, contributing to healthy digestion. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use another type of cheese? Of course! You can replace cottage cheese with ricotta for a different texture and taste. - Can cheesecake be frozen? Yes, cheesecake can be frozen, although it is best fresh. Make sure to cover it well to prevent freezer burn. Delicious pairings: This orange cheesecake pairs perfectly with a cup of black tea or fresh lemonade. Additionally, vanilla ice cream can add a touch of indulgence and temperature contrast.
