Orange Cardamom cheesecake

Cheese cakes are not my cup of tea but i just can#t stop myself from craving a slice of it from time to time , and this time i wanted to test a raw version with epic flavors , blood orange and cardamom , i guess you know by now that i love putting cardamom almost everywhere , but trust me it really complements oranges graciously ...
