Step 2:
Combine with the butter and mix until the crumbs get moist. Press the crumbs down in a pie pan (for a more traditional cheesecake, use a spring-form pan; however a deep pie pan will work as well).
Step 3:
Bake the crust at 325 for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is nice and brown. While the crust cools a bit, heat the chocolate on LOW heat until it melts. Once it starts to melt add 1/2 of the orange juice and continually stir it until its fully melted.
Mix 3/4 cup sugar and the cream cheese together - you can use a mixer for this, however I am without one so here's the mixerless way to do it: Run your hands under hot water for about 45 seconds, and quickly pat dry. Start squeezing the cream cheese together, in a similar fashion that one would go about squeezing boobies. Once it starts getting soft and easy to mix, take a whisk and aggressively mix it for about 3 minutes.
Add the melted chocolate, and whisk for another three minutes. Mix in the rest of the OJ, the rind, and 2 tsp of extract. At this point take about 1/2 cup of the filling out and place in the fridge. Finally add your eggs (one at a time) to the filling.
