Chocolate and clementine cheesecake

A decadent yet easy-to-make baked cheesecake with a festive twist of clementines, orange and ginger

Ingredients
75 g unsalted English butter, melted
200 g ginger snaps
150 g smooth dark chocolate
100 g orange fondant dark chocolate thins
100 g Fairtrade caster sugar
200 g full-fat soft cheese
250 g mascarpone
3 medium British free-range eggs, beaten
2 clementines, unpeeled and sliced into thin rounds

Method
Preheat the oven to 160°C, fan 140°C, gas 3. Grease a 23cm round springform tin with a little melted butter and line with baking parchment.

Crush the biscuits and mix with the melted butter. Press into the base of the tin and let set in the fridge.

Meanwhile, gently melt the chocolate and chocolate thins together. Put the sugar, soft cheese, mascarpone and eggs in a mixing bowl and pour in the melted chocolate. Beat well with a spoon. Gently tap the bowl on the work surface to remove air bubbles.

Pour onto the biscuit base and decorate with the clementine slices. Place the tin on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, until set. Turn off the oven and leave to cool with the door ajar. Chill until ready to serve.

Cook’s tip:
this is delicious served with half-fat crème fraîche by Sainsbury’s.

The farmer, from Zentsuji, in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are.......................
