I got this from Nestle's a few years ago and have made it several times. It is a wonderful cheesecake and the hint of orange will keep your guests coming back for more. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs |
1/3 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin |
12 ounces white chocolate chips |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup granulated sugar |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
2 tablespoons finely grated orange rind |
fresh orange slice (optional) |
chocolate graham cracker crumbs (optional) |

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Combine crumbs and butter in medium bowl.
2. Press crumb mixture onto bottom of ungreased 9-inch springform pan.
3. Bake for 10 minutes; cool in pan on a wire rack.
4. Combine orange juice and gelatin in small saucepan.
5. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until gelatin dissolves.
6. Melt morsels in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on medium-high (70%) power for 1 minute; then stir.
7. The morsels may retain some of their original shape.

10. Gradually stir in gelatin mixture and melted morsels.
