INDIVIDUAL ORANGE CHEESECAKES

 

I read it from the FamilyCircle Cheesecakes Pavlovas & Trifle yr. 1994. I've tried the cheesecake and its very tasty plus its easy to make it. Again, no baking required.

Makes 8

 

Crumb Crust
250g plain sweet biscuits
150g butter, melted

 

Filling
4 oranges
250g cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 table spoon orange juice

 

To make crust :
Place biscuits in food processor bowl, process 30 seconds or until finely crushed. Add butter, process further 15 seconds. Divide mixture evenly between the tart tins. Press biscuits mixture firmly into the base and sides. Refrigerate while preparing filling.

To make filling :

1. Place oranges on a board. Cut a 2 cm slice off each end of orange  to where the flesh starts. Cut skin away in a circular motion, cutting only deep enough to remove all white membrane. Separate segments by cutting between membrane and flesh. Do this over bowl to catch any juice. Reserve 2 or 3 segments for each flan. Cut remainder in small pieces.
2. Using electric beater, beat cream cheese and rind in a small mixer bowl until light and creamy. Gradually add condensed milk, lemon and orange juice. Beat on medium speed 5 minutes or until smooth ans increased volume. Fold in chopped orange.
3. Pour mixture evenly into prepared tart biscuits; smooth surface. Refrigerate overnight. Decorate with whipped cream, slivers of orange rind and reserved segments.
