15 oz. ricotta cheese

8 oz. cream cheese

Beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth.

Add remaining cheesecake ingredients, beating well and scraping bowl until well combined.

Pour over crust, bake for 1 hour, or until edges are golden, and center is set. (Put pan on foil lined baking sheet...butter my leak out, and this will protect your oven!)

Let cool 10 minutes, run thin bladed knife around edges to prevent cracking as it cools further. Cool completly.

Heat whipping cream in microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes, till boiling. Add chocolate, let sit without stirring for a few minutes. Stir gently to combine, add butter, stir till melted. Let sit till slightly thickened.

Pour over cheesecake, after you have released the side of the pan. Let drip over edges, smoothing.
