Ingredients

How to make it

  • ***// CRUST //***
  • In a medium bowl, combine combine wafer crumbs and sugar; stir in the butter. Grease the bottom & sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Pour and press down the crumb mixture to the bottom and 1 & 1/2 inches up the sides of the pan. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes place the springform pan directly onto the wirerack while preparing the filling.
  • ***// FILLING //***
  • Melt chocolate chips in a small saucepan or microwave; stir until smooth. Remove from heat, add cream & mix well. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese & sugar until smooth. Add cocoa & beat well. Add eggs & beat at low speed just until combined. **TIP: keep the bowl moving around in a circle so your blender does not get too full of cream cheese.**
  • Remove crust from oven. Pour cream cheese mixture over crust. Return pan to baking sheet.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until center is almost set.
  • ***// TOPPING //*** - optional, recipe is good with or without the topping.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a heavy saucepan or microwave, stir until smooth. Stir in cream and vanilla; mix well. Spread over filling.
  • Cool pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around teh edge of pan to loosen - do not force the knife down through the sides of the crust.
  • Cool for 1 hour longer.
  • Refridgerate overnight.
  • Remove the sides of the pan - cake is now ready for serving. ** Topping with be hard, but still be able to be cut with a butterknife - I had my doubts, but my boyfriend proved me wrong there! **
