Yield Makes 16 cheesecakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 butter, melted
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. Cheesecakes
2 pkg. PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. orange extract
2 egg s
1/2 cup sour cream
1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1 tsp. orange zest
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°F. In a medium bowl, combine the graham-cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Mix well.
  • Place cupcake liners in a regular-sized muffin tin and spoon 1 tbsp. of crumb mixture into each liner and press down firmly.
  • With an electric or stand mixer, whip the cream cheese until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sugar, and mix well. Add in the orange extract and eggs, and mix until just combined. Add the sour cream, and incorporate completely.
  • Melt ¾ cup chocolate chips in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir well, and heat in 10-second increments until fully melted.
  • Fold 1 cup of the cheesecake mixture into the melted chocolate, and mix completely.
  • Spoon about 1 tbsp. of chocolate cheesecake mixture on top of the graham-cracker crust, and smooth over. Repeat with the rest of the crusts.
  • Add the orange zest to the cheesecake mixture that is still in the bowl, and mix well. Spoon about 1 tbsp. of this mixture over the chocolate mixture, and smooth over.
  • Bake for 30 minutes and let cool to room temperature on a cooling rack.
  • Meanwhile, place the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips in a medium-sized bowl.In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat and bring to a simmer. (Don't boil!)
  • Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 3 minutes before stirring, and then mix until completely smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the cheesecakes. Place cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
