- 200 g (7 oz) chocolate orange bar or (1 ¼ cups) semi sweet chocolate chips
- 5 tbsp Golden Syrup or Orange Blossom honey
- 500 g (2 cups) mascarpone cheese or full fat cream cheese

- 2 tbsp unsalted butter to decorate

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- Crush the Oreo cookies or Chocolate Orange Bourbons in a food processor until finely crushed. Mix with the melted butter until combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the base of the prepared springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- While the base is cooling, melt the chocolate orange bar or chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave.
- In another bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese and double cream until smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate and golden syrup (or honey), and add the optional orange zest for extra flavor.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Once set, melt the remaining chocolate orange bar with the butter and pour it over the cheesecake to create a glossy topping.
- Decorate the cheesecake with segments of Terry’s Chocolate Orange, orange zest strips, and chocolate sprinkles before serving.
