The different shades of decadent chocolate make this cheesecake a picture haveperfect dessert. It is one of the easiest cheesecakes we have ever made. The texture is creamy, rich and so chocolatey. This is fabulous enough to make for a special occasion but easy enough for any time. A truly decadent treat for the chocolate and cheesecake lover. This cheesecake is always on the top of the list of cheesecakes to make. It covers the cravings of chocolate and cheesecake all at once. It is my family's favorite and mine as well.
