ORANGE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Using a microplane grater or the smallest holes on a box grater, zest one entire orange onto a plate or into a bowl; set aside, and refrigerate zested orange for a later use.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, making sure there are no lumps; add sugar and mix well.
• Add eggs and egg yolk; then add orange juice concentrate, orange zest, flour, vanilla extract& orange extract and mix until thoroughly combined, scraping down sides& bottom of bowl frequently to make sure all of the cream cheese is incorporated.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place prepared pie crust in center of a cookie sheet (preferably without sides).
• Brush crust with some of the orange juice concentrate.
• Pour cream cheese mixture into prepared crust and bake 45-50 minutes or until center is almost set but still wiggles slightly when shaken gently (cheesecake will continue to cook after removing from oven).
• Remove cheesecake from oven, and let cool thoroughly on a wire rack (without the cookie sheet).
• When cooled to room temperature, refrigerate cheesecake for several hours.
• While cheesecake is chilling, remove some of the rind from the second orange with a vegetable peeler or citrus zester, being careful to only remove the orange part (the white pith is bitter).
• If using a vegetable peeler, cut the pieces of rind into very thin julienne strips; set aside.
• Make chocolate curls by scraping a large chocolate bar with a heavy knife, holding knife at a 90-degree angle to bar.
• When ready to serve, place a mound of the chocolate curls in center of cheesecake; sprinkle with julienned strips of orange.
• Refrigerate any leftovers.

CHARLESTON CHEWY CHEESECAKE WITH ORANGE MARMALADE GLAZE

Steps:

• For the Charleston chewy crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a deep 10-inch springform pan. Line the bottom of the pan with a parchment paper circle.
• Stir together the butter, brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, eggs and flour in a medium bowl. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Make the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat just until the yellow disappears. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
• Double-wrap the bottom of the springform pan with foil, sealing it tightly to prevent water from getting into the pan. Place the springform pan into a larger pan and pour very hot water into the outer pan until it covers the bottom, being careful to make sure the water level doesn't come up higher than the foil.
• Bake until the center is almost set, 60 to 70 minutes. (The center will still jiggle, while the edges will be set.) Turn off the oven, then crack the oven door and allow the cake to cool in the oven for 1 to 2 hours. Transfer the cake to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
• Make the glaze: Heat the marmalade and liqueur in a small saucepan over medium heat until the marmalade is melted. Unmold the cheesecake and place on a stand or serving plate. Cut into slices and garnish each slice with the glaze and orange segments.

• Cool completely on a rack. Wrap the bottom and up the sides of the pan with foil and place in a roasting pan.
• For the filling: Add the cream cheese to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until smooth.

Add the lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt and beat just until combined, taking care not to over whip. Pour into the crust.
