Cheesecake is a traditional dessert with a history dating back to ancient Greece, where the first versions of this delicious treat were prepared. Over time, this recipe became popular throughout Europe and America, adapting to local ingredients and tastes. In Latin America, cheesecake is known by different variants, although it is generally called "tarta de queso" or "pastel de queso." In countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia, regional flavors are enhanced by adding fruits or typical ingredients, such as orange, which gives it a refreshing citrus touch. The combination of orange and chocolate is especially valued for its exquisite contrast, making this version a supreme dessert that is gaining more and more followers.

How to Prepare Supreme Orange and Chocolate Cheesecake
To begin, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with the cinnamon and margarine until you get a uniform mixture.
Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, making sure to cover the entire base evenly.
Bake the base at 325°F for 10 minutes so it compacts and gains consistency.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar, mixing at medium speed with an electric mixer until well integrated and the mixture is smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition to incorporate air and achieve a creamy texture.
Incorporate the sour cream and vanilla, mixing until all the ingredients are perfectly combined.
Mix the semi-sweet chocolate chips with three cups of this mixture until you get a homogeneous chocolate-flavored mixture.
In the remaining mixture, incorporate the orange-flavored liqueur and the grated orange zest to achieve that characteristic citrus touch.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the baked cookie base.
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes so the chocolate layer cooks properly.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
Place the rest of the orange mixture over the chocolate layer and continue baking for 30 more minutes.
Once ready, carefully loosen the cake from the edge of the pan.
Let the cheesecake cool before removing the pan edge to prevent it from breaking.
Finally, refrigerate the cheesecake for several hours so it sets and is cool when served.
