  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons orange extract
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, chopped macadamia nuts, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.
