Chocolate Cheesecake (added 18-Dec-2003)
Submitted by Jan Barnes
11 oz cream cheese (I use the light, [low-fat] not fat free — it needs some fat
in it, or it doesn't set right)
¾ C sugar
¼ C Hershey's cocoa
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla (though I usually sorta let it spill over the spoon into the mix <g>
depends on your taste)
½ C chilled whipping cream (not whipped)
8 inch chocolate crumb pie crust (Oreo makes a good one; so does Keebler)
Heat oven to 350.
Combine cream cheese and sugar; beat well (best if you use a hand-held mixer on
high). Blend in cocoa. Add eggs & vanilla. Blend well. Blend in whipping cream.
Pour into crust. Bake 35-40 minutes. (center will be soft, but will set on
cooling.) Cool to room temperature, then stick in refrigerator several hours (or
overnight).
Then top:
Topping: leftover whipping cream, sugar, small amount of cocoa, vanilla,
cinnamon. (Can't tell you how much; I just add the flavorings till they taste
right...) Chill bowl in refrigerator, then whip all the ingredients together and
spread on top of chilled cheesecake.
Done. Enjoy!
