Orange Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake
This recipe was great and so easy. I did make a few changes and found they worked out for me. Firstly I cut the sugar by half and it was certainly sweet enough. I made the crust using 1 and 1/4 cups each of digestive cookie and chocolate cookie crumbs. Also I increased the orange juice (I juiced fresh oranges) to 5 tbls which gave it a nice orange flavour. As mentioned by another reviewer I reserved the 2 cups of batter for the chocolate before adding the orange juice and zest which made the orange batter much more orange flavoured. I melted the chocolate in the microwave heating and then stirring it a few seconds at a time until it was completely melted. I baked it with the pan sitting on a muffin tin filled with water as was suggested by someone else to avoid cracking. I decorated it with fresh strawberries and a dollop of cool whip at the end of each slice. It was perfect for my husband's birthday cake! I will definitely make it again.
