chocolate and ginger cookie cheesecake

I just love this very simple, yet decadent chocolate cake that smells and tastes like the festive season. A bit of cardamom, orange zest (always organic), vanilla, and ginger just make such a difference. And yes, those seasonal cookies, such as speculoos in France and Belgium or gingerbread from all over the world, make such a difference, especially if some cinnamon is added. You can serve it just like that or as we love to with some creme fraiche, orange confit, vanilla and rosemary, which is more for the look and some aroma.
