This is the best cheesecake and for chocolate lovers only! I make 1/3 of the recipe and use a small springform pan for a special desert for 4. I use 1 pkg of light cream, 3 squares of chocolate and chocolate liqueur. I top with a raspberry coulee. Yum.

Best chocolate cheesecake recipe (and I have tried at least 6 different chocolate recipes). To make it absolutely divine bake over a 9x13 pan with water in it, don't overbeat the mix, and don't peak while in the oven!

Great recipe. So easy. I had half a box of good quality mint chocolates left from Christmas so I substituted them for the Bakers chocolate. YUM. The only thing wrong with the recipe is the oven temp. 350 is too high, I will try 325 next time.

This cake tastes amazing! I can't get it not to crack on top, but whipped cream will cover that. I used S*buck Toffee nut coffee syrup in place of the liqueur and it was very nice.

I made this for a co-workers birthday. Everyone loved it. I used a pre-made crust to save time. I also used 6 baker's csemi-sweet chocolate quares instead of 8. It still came out rich and delicious. I received phone calls and emails from co-workers about it. It was a huge hit.

I made this cheese cake for Greek Easter this weekend, and it was excellent. Everyone loved it. I put raspberries all over the top though, and it was a nice flavour with the chocolate. I will definitly make this one again.

Ladies, you have done it again. I have been making your cheesecakes for years now, but as far as chocolate is concerned, this is the best one yet, a little bit of heaven. I served this on Valentine day, sprinkled it with icing sugar and with melted white chocolate, added a heart and few roses for presentation. Delectable. What a wonderful finish to a wonderful meal. Thank you.
