Chocolate Cheesecake

[jwhyt...@comcast.net]

Here is a recipe from one of our gatherings for a deliciously creamy
chocolate cheesecake!

CRUST: 1/2 C butter
1/2 C granulated sugar
1 1/2 C chocolate graham cracker crumbs
1 Tbls. cocoa powder
Blend butter with sugar, add graham crackers and cocoa powder. Press
into a 9" spring form pan. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 8
minutes. Remove and cool.

FILLING:
4 oz. semi sweet chocolate
1 lb. cream cheese (softened)
2 C sour cream
1 C heavy cream
1 C granulated sugar
1 Tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
3 C whipped cream- WHIPPED
chocolate shavings

Melt chocolate in a double boiler,cool. Beat the cream cheese until
fluffy. Add the cooled chocolate, sour cream, and heavy cream. Blend
in the sugar,vanilla, and 1 egg at a time. Pour into crust. Bake in a
preheated oven at 375 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Remove and chill for
6 hours. Spread and decorate with whipped cream. Sprinkle w/ chocolate
shavings. Serve. I added a tsp. of coffee extract to the filling to
bring out the chocolate flavors- you can also make the whipped cream
into a chocolate whipped cream by adding cocoa powder- for your
ultimate choclate fantasy! YUM!

This kind of recipe is dangerous to have around...especially when
you've tasted the results. Thank you so much for getting it posted
for our decadence!
