How To Make chocolate orange cheesecake

  • 1
    Crust: Combine crumbs, cinnamon and butter; press onto bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan.
  • 2
    Combine cream cheese and sugar in large bowl, mixing at medium speed on electric mixer until well blended. Add sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended.
  • 3
    In a medium bowl, blend melted chocolate into 3 cups batter. Pour chocolate batter over crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Stir zest and liqueur into remaining batter; refrigerate until ready to use. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
  • 4
    Spoon remaining batter over baked chocolate layer; continue baking 30 minutes or until center is almost set. Leave cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour after turning the oven off with the door open, to prevent cracking on the top surface. Loosen cake from rim of pan; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours. Heat marmalade just until warmed; spoon over cheesecake just before serving.
