Orange Chip Cheesecake image

I love to adapt and mix recipes, which led to the creation of this creamy treat many years ago. It came to mind immediately when I was planning the orange theme menu. In this case, the distinctive citrus flavor is complemented by chocolate! -Susan West North Grafton, Massachusetts

Overall, I thought this cheesecake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The cheesecake was a bit dense for my liking. I would have preferred it to be lighter and fluffier.

I found this cheesecake to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred it with less sugar.

I was disappointed with this cheesecake. The orange flavor was too strong and the chocolate chips were overpowering. I wouldn't make it again.
