Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare the springform pan.
  2. Combine crushed digestive biscuits with melted unsalted butter in a mixing bowl and press into the base of the springform pan.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese and caster sugar until smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to avoid lumps.
  5. Gently stir in double cream, orange zest, orange juice, melted dark chocolate, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  6. Fold in chopped orange-flavored milk chocolate carefully.
  7. Add orange liqueur if using, mixing gently.
  8. Pour cheesecake batter over the biscuit crust and smooth the surface.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until edges are set and center is slightly wobbly.

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth blend. Overbaking can create cracks in your cheesecake; a slight wobble is ideal. Refrigerating overnight enhances flavor and texture.
