Crush the biscuits to fine crumbs either by whizzing in a food processor or put them into a polythene bag and bashing them with a rolling pin.
For this step you'll need:
- 175g Digestive biscuits

Transfer to a bowl and stir in the melted butter. Spoon this mixture into the base of a 20cm (8in) springform tin, pressing the biscuit well into the base.

Spoon the soft cheese into a large bowl and beat well to soften it. Add the golden caster sugar, double cream, eggs, vanilla extract and orange zest. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Pour this mixture over the top of the biscuit base.

- 650g Cream cheese
- 175g Unrefined golden caster sugar

Stir well over a high heat until the fruit has softened and the juices are beginning to bubble. Remove from the heat then push through a sieve to remove the seeds catching the juice in a bowl. Allow to cool then have a taste as you may need to add more sugar. The sauce should be tangy but not over sweet or too sour.

To serve, cut the cheesecake into wedges and drizzle over a little of the sauce. You could also serve the cheesecake topped with double cream whipped so it just holds it shape then spoon the sauce on to the plate.
