Mocha-Orange Cheesecake image

I get raves every time I serve this cake as dessert. The tartness of the orange, with a little kick of orange liqueur brings out the full flavor of the chocolate in this cheese cake. The orange marmalade mixture may be served on the side rather than on top of the cake. -Mary Ann Lee, Clifton Park, New York

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was a bit too dense.
