Method

Slice a thin disc from the sponge flan case to fit the base of the tin and drizzle with 15ml of orange liqueur.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 23cm springform cake tin.

Serve cheesecake wedges with shards of marbled chocolate and a drizzle of cream.

Pour both chocolates onto a cling-film covered tray, swirl with a finger to marble, and chill until set.

Melt white chocolate and dark chocolate in separate bowls over simmering water.

Bake in a water bath for 50 minutes until golden, then cool and set completely.

Layer a third of the mixture with a third of the chocolate pieces in the tin and repeat twice.

Incorporate the vanilla seeds, remaining orange liqueur, and cream until the mixture is completely smooth.

Mix sugar, orange zest, juice, and cornflour, then beat in the cream cheese and eggs until incorporated.
