Como fazer Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Cut in ½ cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped pecans.
- Reserve ¾ cup of the flour mixture.
- Press the remaining flour mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate orange filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder until fluffy.
- Beat in ¼ cup milk, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon orange zest until smooth.
- Spread the filling evenly over the warm crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved flour mixture evenly over the filling.
- Gently press pecan halves onto the top, if desired.
- Return to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly browned.
- Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set completely.
- Cut into bars and serve. Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
