This is awesome cheesecake!! The best cheesecake I've ever made-and I've made a few. It will defintely be made many more times. Tip for those lactose intolerant. I replaced the cream cheese w/Better Than Cream Cheese(soy product)and no one ever knew.(I've done this before and no one knows the difference. It sounds kind of gross but it is very good especially w/ chocolate!). There is also Sour Supreme Better Than Sour Cream you can use for the topping if you want. But like others I left it off. Thank you for the recipe Elizabeth!!
I loved the taste of this cheesecake. Not so chocolately that you can't eat a piece moist and creamy. I think I will make the crust half again as large as I like a thicker crust on cheesecake. It was a hit with friends! A keeper!
I made some revisions to this receipe. I used a regular graham cracker crust. However this cheesecake was a hit. I made a total of 3 different kinds of cheesecake for a family event and this is the only one that everybody wanted the receipe for. It is now a staple for me.
This is a fabulous recipe! The cheesecake turned out beautifully and I was so proud of myself being my first attempt at making a cheesecake. Our guests were very impressed and some even stopped by the next day to see if there was any left over! The next time I make it I will try it without the topping. Thank you for a great recipe!
This was totally easy to make and absolutely delicious. Before serving I grated a dark chocolate espresso bar over the top with a microplane grater to conceal any imperfections and then I added stars of whipped cream along the outer edge and topped each star with a chocolate covered espresso bean. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture. I will make this again for sure. Very creamy not too dense and best of all the cake didn't crack!
My first ever cheesecake and it came out great. I skipped the topping. Next time I will drizzle some chocolate over the top and I would double the crust (might also be good with a graham cracker crust). I also turned the oven off after 40 min. and kept the door closed. Texture was perfect. This was a big hit with my boyfriend.
I changed a lot in this recipe but what I made was amazing! I split the cream cheese mixture into two and added coffee to one and the chocolate to the other to give the cheesecake a layered look. Instead of the sour cream topping I used melted chocolate chips and for the crust I used oreo's...very chocolaty and VERY delicious!
Made this the night before for a coworker's birthday. It was really rich but totally delicious and the topping looked nice. I would definitely make this again.
