Terrible

The cheesecake is terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Remember that part about the house filling with smoke?  Well the residual effect is a crust that tastes similar to a pot of beans when you scorch the bottom.  I'm not totally in love with the recipe either.  I like the citrus, I think the acids help with the mixture, but I don't think it's quite sweet enough.  It might go well with a cup of HEB's taste of Texas, maybe (as much as I hate this word) the Austin blend.  But as a stand alone breakfast, it is lacking.  I'm also not in love with the topping.  I think miniature chocolate chips would have been an improvement over the chunks, but in reality I would leave the topping off altogether if I did it again. Maybe just some peanut butter and Eagle brand milk would do the trick, but the existing topping is not entirely my favorite.  Guinea pigs needed!
