Blood Orange Cheesecake image

A citrus cheesecake that is not too sweet, with the unique taste of blood oranges throughout the filling and the topping. This is my first post, I wanted to pass along a unique recipe that I found elsewhere today. I was looking for a way to use the blood oranges that are plentiful in the grocery store this time of year and have a unique flavour that I just love! My family, including my diabetic mother-in-law really enjoyed this dessert. Original recipe here: http://www.underthehighchair.com/2009/03/blood-orange-cheesecake.html

Overall, I thought this cheesecake was good. The blood orange flavor was unique and interesting, but I think I would have preferred it with a more traditional cheesecake flavor.

This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter cheesecake filling.

I made this cheesecake for my husband's birthday and he loved it! He said it was the best cheesecake he's ever had.

This cheesecake was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with regular oranges.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of blood oranges. But I'm so glad I did! The cheesecake was amazing! The blood orange flavor was not overpowering at all, and it added a unique and delicious flavor to the cheesecake.
