    This sounds awsome. So glad I found it. Cheesecake has been my son's official birthday cake since he first tasted it in the first grade. I have made every flavor of cheesecake there is to make. I cannot wait to try this one. Thanks for the post! Debbie PS: By the way is your last name "Shaw"? My maiden name is "Shaw" also.

    Lorraine, this chocolate cheesecake looks like the all time decadent, perfect and awesome cheesecake. I am sitting here contemplating when or I should say, how soon I will be preparing this beauty. Thank you so very much for a 5++++ cheesecake recipe.

    Ah, michael, if we could get Nancy to join GR... well, let's just say that we'd spend most of our time commenting on her recipes. I have never had a "nancy" recipe fail or be less than wonderful! Long live Nancy, whereever in Iowa she's hiding out...

    The first thing that grabbed me about this recipe after the tantalizing title was the crust.
    I know many chocoholics who will love this recipe me included.
    Five forks and great big smile from ear to ear.:)

    Thanks so much for your five, lori! You won't be disappointed in this one at all, not for a minute. Why not join my "cheesecake angels" group. There are some lovely cheesecake posts in there. If you do, hope you enjoy. I, too, am a cheesecake-making fool!

    The crust is to die for, taylorsue! I have it on a separate card now because I use it for so many other things. Nancy Dooley is truly a diamond. Wish I could find her again! Thanks for your five, my friend!

    Actually this crust has become my "go to" for many of the things I bake. It may be ALMOST good enough to just make and eat as is! Thanks for the 5, nym!

    If you've got the cheesecake (which you do and a nice one at that) then I've got the time (and a fork- no plate necessary!!)
