Well, Alaina loves anything chocolate. But, today, she craved chocolate cheesecake. She used the recipe from Taste of Home (http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Chocolate-Cheesecake). Here is the recipe:
2 to 3 T cocoa (we used a mix of Dutch Process and Back
Onyx)
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large Eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberries and white chocolate shavings, optional
CRUST:
1 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (or
chocolate wafer cookie crumbs/omit the cocoa) 3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
FILLING:
2 cups (12 ounces)
semisweet chocolate chips (I would use 1 cup to taste more CHEESEcake/Alaina
says use 2 cups)2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large Eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberries and white chocolate shavings, optional
Directions
- In a
small bowl, combine cookie crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto
the bottom of a greased 9-in. spring form pan; set aside. In a microwave,
melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Set aside.
- In a
large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and flour until smooth. Add eggs
beat on low just until combined. Stir in vanilla and melted chocolate just
until blended. Pour filling over crust.
- Bake
at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire
rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen;
cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
- Garnish slices with strawberries and chocolate shavings if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
Yield: 12 servings.
