Ingredients

  • 125g unsalted butter, plus extra for the tin
  • 300g gingernut biscuits, finely crushed
  • 200g 70% dark chocolate
  • 100g orange dark chocolate
  • 250g mascarpone
  • 280g full-fat soft cheese
  • 50g icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 150ml double cream
  • thinly sliced orange peel, to serve

Method

  • STEP 1

    Butter and line the base of a 20cm springform cake tin. Melt the butter and combine with the crushed gingernuts. Press the mixture down well into the tin using the back of a spoon to create and even base layer, then chill in the fridge while you prepare the topping.

  • STEP 2

    Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt gently over a pan of simmering water (make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl). Set aside and allow to cool slightly. Combine the mascarpone, soft cheese, icing sugar and cocoa powder in another bowl, then slowly drizzle in the chocolate, stirring to combine.

  • STEP 3

    Whip the cream until just thickened and then fold into the chocolate mix. Spoon on top of the base, smoothing out with a spatula before returning to the fridge for at least 6 hours to set. Scatter over the orange zest to serve.
