VANILLA BEAN CHEESECAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GANACHE
This recipe is the most recent cheesecake I gave to my mother for her birthday, and we all just loved it...too much! There's a hint of orange in the chocolate crust that makes every bite worth savoring.-Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California

[email protected]This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try making it again with less sugar next time.

[email protected]This cheesecake was absolutely divine! The vanilla bean flavor was perfectly balanced with the rich chocolate ganache. The texture was smooth and creamy, and the crust was perfectly graham crackery. I will definitely be making this again!
