I had some oranges & there was no after dinner dessert. So here it is, another no bake, no gelatine & super yummy cheese cake but this time with orange flavour.

10 to 12 Digestive Biscuits

1 tsp fresh Orange Peel (finely shredded)

3/4 cup fresh Orange Juice

2 tbsp Butter

For Cheesecake

1 1/2 cup fresh cottage cheese (Without whey)

3/4 cup sugar (according to taste)

1/2 cup low fat cream

2 tsp orange marmalade

4 tbsp fresh orange juice

Method

For Biscuit Crust

Grind the biscuits till coarse. Add cocoa powder, sugar & melted butter &

mix gently.The mixture will resemble bread crumbs.

Grease individual bowls with little butter.

Spread the biscuit mix evenly & gently level the surface using back of spoon.

Refrigerate the bowls for about 30 minutes.

For Orange Sauce

Combine sugar, cornstarch & orange peel in a small saucepan.

Stir in orange juice and cook over medium heat until thickened & bubbly.

Cook and stir 2 minutes more.

Remove from heat; stir in butter and keep aside.

For Cheesecake

Put the cottage cheese in a big bowl and using a mixer, churn until it turns slightly fluffy. Or use electric beater.

Add the sugar and churn some more. You will see that the filling has increased in volume.,

Now add in the cream & churn.

Mix orange juice & Orange Marmalade & churn again.

Pour the mixture into the cooled crust & using a spatula level the mixture.

Refrigerate or about 15 minutes.

Pour the cooled orange sauce on top of the cream cheese mixture and level it once again.

Place the bowls in the refrigerator to chill overnight.

Serve chilled.

Tips

* Do taste cheese cake mixture to adjust sugar.

* If you don't have Marmalade, you can add 2 tsp of orange sauce too.

* This recipe is without gelatine, so it's always better to set in individual cups or bowls. They are easy to serve and looks nice too.

* You can garnish with orange segments.

* The leftover Orange Sauce can be used as topping for fruit creams or as spread on toasts.
