  6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set with a slight jiggle.
  8. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar.
  9. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Before serving, garnish with fresh orange slices and chocolate shavings.

Notes

Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
