Orange Cheesecake with Gingersnap crust

I'm too lazy to type up an entire recipe, so follow along this path of substitutions!

Base recipe: Mascarpone Cheesecake with Balsamic Strawberries

Changes:

1) Replace almond biscotti crust with same volume of finely ground gingersnap crumbs.

2) Add zest of one naval orange to cheesecake filling

3) Add fleshy bits from half an orange to the strawberry mix. Cut back sugar to 2/3 the suggested amount.

4) Before serving the cheesecake, chop and peel one orange, cutting each wedge of it in half. Arrange over cheesecake covering the entire surface.

Of course, you could simply make the original recipe, but I'm sure mine is better :)
