You will need a 21cm round loose-bottomed cake tin
Although you can get them all year round, I always used to get (and still do) a Terry’s Chocolate Orange in my stocking and I don’t think I would ever eat one at any other time of the year, as I associate them with Christmas. However, when incorporated into a cheesecake, I’m willing to break the rules. The flavour ofthis cheesecake is mouthwateringly good, it also needs no baking and I really enjoy breaking up the segments and decorating it. One for me, one for the cheesecake...
