This was good and relatively easy for a cheesecake. A bit too orange-y for me, I would decrease the amount of rind to 1.5 Tbs next time. It had a nice consistency. I also added about .5 tsp. of vanilla extract and might add a pinch of almond extract next time. I rarely give 5s so this is a good review for me.
Satsuma Orange Cheesecake
We love showcasing seasonally abundant satsumas, a relative of the mandarin orange. The tang of cream cheese and sour cream in the filling rounds out the citrusy sweetness. Make up to three days ahead.
