Cheese and chocolate chips chiffon

While reading through my recipes book, i saw this cheesecake chiffon from Alex Goh fantastic cheesecake book and decided to give it try. As a cheesecake lover myself i could not resist this temptation to bake myself one. Happily to say my family all comment that it was very soft and tasty. It was gone within one day.

Sorry i did not manage to take the photo after slicing, coz my hubby and son was happily helping themselves on it.
