recipe. Can you taste the orange? Have you tried making it without the

orange? Or I wonder about substituting the orange for lemon.? I love

lemon deserts. We ate at IHOP a few wks ago and I had lemon strusel

pancakes with bluberrys. It was heavennnn! More of a dessert then

pancake,best ones ive ever had. Cheesecake is my ultimate fav. And

chocolate.lol. Anything sweet really.lol.

RE: Orange Chocolate Swirl cheesecake

This is the orange chocolate swirl cheesecake I made at Thanksgiving.

This past weekend I made a spiced almonds & cranberries mix that turned

out well.

CRUST:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup white sugar

1/3 cup butter, melted

FILLING:

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup white sugar

5 eggs

2 tablespoons orange juice

1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a medium bowl,

mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter until well

blended. Press into the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the side of a 9 inch

springform pan.

Bake for 1020minutes. In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water,

melt chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside to cool,

but do not allow to harden.

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until

smooth. Mix in the eggs, one at a time on a low speed, or by hand.

Gradually stir in the orange juice, and orange zest. Reserve 2 cups of

the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the baked crust. Stir the

melted chocolate into the reserved batter. Drop the chocolate batter by

large spoonfuls onto the white batter. Use a knife to cut through the

batter, and leave a swirling design.

Bake for 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the center is

almost set. Run a spatula or thin knife around the edge of the pan

while it is still warm, so the cake will not crack. Allow cake to cool

completely before removing the sides of the pan. Refrigerate for at

least 4 hours before serving.

The orange is fairly subtle. I've made orange cheesecake before and folk don't even register that they're eating orange cheesecake. They think it's just plain ol' cheesecake.

Lemon would be fine, too, I imagine.Dan U dao_nguu@...

Pumpkin or red winter squash of any kind makes terrific cheesecake.

Thank you for telling us of yours, Dan,

Cheers!
