Start by weighing 125 grams of unsalted butter and cut it into small cubes.

Melt the butter in the microwave until completely melted.

In a food processor, weigh 275 grams of digestive biscuits and blitz them until they form a fine crumb.

Combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and mix until it resembles wet sand.

Line the base of an 8-inch loose base tin with greaseproof paper (optional).

Press the biscuit mixture into the base of the tin, compacting it tightly.

Refrigerate the biscuit base while preparing the cheesecake filling.

Weigh 250 grams of Terry's chocolate orange and melt it in a heatproof bowl in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between until melted.

In a large bowl, weigh 500 grams of cream cheese and add 50 grams of icing sugar, mixing until combined.

Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture, ensuring it has cooled enough to not melt the cream cheese.

Weigh 300 milliliters of cream and slowly add it to the mixture, whipping until it reaches stiff peaks without over whipping.

Transfer some of the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag for decoration later.

Pour the remaining cheesecake mixture into the prepared tin and level it out with a spatula.

Refrigerate the cheesecake while preparing the ganache layer.

Weigh 160 grams of Terry's chocolate orange and break it into pieces in a heatproof bowl.

Weigh 80 grams of cream and add it to the chocolate, then microwave in short bursts, mixing in between until fully melted.
