Cheesecake

[237SJ]

I`m making an orange chocolate cheesecake for Christmas. The recipe calls for cointreau cream but I`m not bothering with that. If I put a slug of cointreau in the the cheesecake mix, would it cause it to separate? (the ingredients are chocolate, cream cheese and mascapone. I`m just wondering if it would mix in OK and not make it runny.

Take a look at these recipes. They all use Cointreau (rather than Cointreau cream), so what you're seeking to achieve should, it seems, be perfectly possible:

(The last two seem fairly close to the recipe which you're planning to use).

Thanks Chris. I think I will make a cointreau cream to have on the side after all, as I don`t want to risk it going wrong.
Merry Christmas

You'll be fine, I add bailey's to mine and it goes a bit sloppy but just mix it up well and you will be OK
