Ingredients:
Base:
140g Devon Digestive Crumbs
40g Unsalted Butter (melted)
Filling:
400g Cream Cheese (softened)
200ml Fresh Cream (cold from the fridge)
80g Caster Sugar

1tsp Orange Zest (grated)
20g Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
Topping:
6 Devon Choc Chip & Orange Cookies
Orange Peel
Method:
Place the crumbs in a bowl and add the melted butter. Mix well then transfer them to a tray with a metal ring, or a cake spring tin.
Press well to create the base, use a glass to make this job easier.
Place it in the fringe for at least 10 minutes.
In the meantime let’s make the filling.
Place the cream cheese and sugar in a bowl and mix with a spatula until nice and creamy.
Add the grated orange zest and juice.
Fold in gently until well combined.
Add the cream and start whipping everything with a hand blender.
When the cream starts to solidify, add the cocoa powder then whip everything until the cream is nice and firm.
Add it to the cake tin and level out the surface.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Just before serving, crumble the biscuits and sprinkle them on top.
Finish off with some grated orange zest.
Carefully remove from the tin and serve.
