Method
Preheat oven to 180’c
Start with the blood orange curd, in a sauce pan place the egg yolks, orange zest and juice and caster sugar and place over a gentle heat, stirring the mixture until it coats the back of a spoon. Then remove from the heat and whisk in the cold butter. Transfer to a bowl and allow to chill in the fridge until required.
For the cheesecake, in a large bowl mix the crowdie, icing sugar, vanilla and orange zest, then add the double cream and whisk until stiff. Place this mixture into a piping bag with a large plain nozzle and chill until required.
For the crumble blitz all of the crumble ingredients together in a food processor until you have a mixture that resembles breadcrumbs, spread over a flat oven tray and bake for 10-15 mins or until the crumble mixture is golden brown.
To serve, pipe 3 spheres of the crowdie cheesecake mix onto a serving plate, then alongside each a spoonful of the blood orange curd. Then place the oat and ginger crumble around the cheesecake and curds. Dress with a few segments of blood orange and shoots of micro coriander
