Individual orange-chocolate cheesecakes

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup chopped chocolate wafer cookies
• 2 tbsp (30 g) butter, melted
• 1/4 cup ricotta
• 60 g of cream cheese
• 1/4 cup sugar + 2 tbsp.
• Zest of 1 orange
• 1 egg
• Butter to grease the pans
• Special equipment: metal mini muffin pan

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
   
   Combine crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the mixture into each muffin cup and press firmly.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the ricotta, cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, half the orange zest, and egg. Process until smooth. Lightly butter the inside of a pan. Spoon about 1.5 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into each cavity. Place the muffin tin inside a larger baking pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up the pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Transfer the pan with the cheesecakes to a wire rack and cool completely for 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for 15 minutes. Using a knife, carefully remove the cheesecakes from the pan.
3. Before serving, combine the remaining orange zest with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Sprinkle each cheesecake with about 1/4 teaspoon of the citrus mixture and serve.
