Chocolate Lover? You'll Love This Decadent Chocolate Cheesecake!
If you are a chocolate lover, you will love this Decadent Chocolate Cheesecake! The crust is a chocolate crumb made from chocolate Teddy Grahams and butter. This is not the average recipe for cheesecake. There are six eggs and a cup of heavy cream included in the rich chocolate batter. It makes for a not so dense lighter version of cheesecake, but it is loaded with a total of 3-ounces of unsweetened and 9-ounces of semi-sweet chocolate squares.
It's not overly sweet. The focus here is on chocolate. To take it over the top, I've added an easy hot fudge sauce. What chocolate lover could resist this combination? The leftover fudge sauce can also be used for ice cream or another dessert. You can find the easy recipe here ► Hot Fudge sauce.
Once you make this easy recipe, you'll never want to buy that sauce in a jar again.
Being a chocolate lover, this has been one of my favorite recipes. This weekend I made the chocolate cheesecake for Jon-Michael's girlfriend Emily's birthday. I had asked him what her favorite dessert was and he replied, "Chocolate cheesecake."
Okay, this cheesecake came to mind immediately.
I made sure I had all the ingredients and began making the cheesecake Saturday afternoon for our Sunday get together. As I was getting ready to pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan on top of the chocolate crust, I received a text from my son, "When are you planning on making the cake for Emily?"
I replied, "In the process."
He texts, "What kind was it again?"
Thinking, great, he was wrong, I respond, "Chocolate."
He texts, "Okay."
My response, "I thought I'd make fudge sauce for good measure. Why?"
Cleverly, he responds, "I couldn't remember what kind you were making."
Good save, but I knew. My response, "You did say chocolate."
He texts, "I know, I thought that's what you said today, I just couldn't remember."
Well, Sunday I found out her favorite dessert is 'Chocolate Chip Cheesecake', which I have not made yet. I told her I've made a polka dot cheesecake that came out great, but that did not seem to pique her interest.
So, a search for a recipe for chocolate chip cheesecake will begin! Emily, I won't forget, and I believe Jon-Michael will remember now, too!

In the meantime, I'll have another piece of this rich Decadent Chocolate Cheesecake...
