Hi
ReplyDeleteJust thought I would report back
on how the cheesecake went. It was to die for!Being 7 months pregnant and having cravings for chocolate orange,as you can imagine it didn't hang around for long!I swapped the grand marnier for Cointreau (simply because that's all I had),and it worked well.However not sure how in the photo,the biscuit base looks brown and goes around the sides, when the recipes asks for hobnobs?Also,I found it could do with more base,or just being made in a smaller dish.If you decide to try making this,be prepared to put on a stone or two!Well worth it though.
Hi Anon - am so glad it turned out well. Yes I did use Hobnobs (not sure if you're in the UK or not) but I have put a link so you know what they are. In the picture yes it looks quite brown at the sides - I think it was the chocolate top had melted a bit into the base (I'm not good at baking)!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your pregnancy and all the very best for 2011 Jan x
what's a gram?

ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious, but can the Grand Marnier be substituted for something non-alcoholic?
ReplyDeleteHi Pareidolia - Just leave it out altogether but replace it with more fresh orange (so use 100ml in total) Hope this works - I can't see why not.
ReplyDeleteHello, I am in the US. We have the Lindt Orange Intense, but I did notice that it has almond slivers in it. Is that the same as the Lindt Orange that you used? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi DC Thank you for your question.
DeleteI'm absolutely sure your chocolate will be just fine.
A very happy and healthy 2021 to you and your family!
