- Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.

- Sweets can add enjoyment to a balanced diet, but remember to keep tabs on portions.
- Dust entire surface of cooled cheesecake with cocoa powder using a wire mesh strainer. For a festive Valentine’s Day garnish, create a heart-shaped design by topping dusted cheesecake with a heart-shaped stencil and sprinkling with powdered sugar.

My family loved this At Christmas and voted I have to make it every year. Easy recipe few ingredients nice and easy. The best chocolate cheesecake ever.
Wow very good! Tastes awesome, super easy to make.
Very easy to make and it turned out delicious.
I have made this cheesecake for years! I took it it to another level by covering it with chocolate Ganache, oh my ,oh my, heavenly
It was a little dry. Next time I will cook it 5 minutes less.
Very yummy. Very rich. Mine did not look this pretty. The top did crack and sink in the middle a bit. Covered the top with raspberry sauce and nobody knew any different.
Love this chocolate cheesecake. It is delicious. Use a food processor and the texture is amazing. Use a good quality chocolate too.
really yummmyyyy i did it with graham cookie crust it come out really good
I am a very experienced baker, having made many cheesecakes. I did not care for this recipe. It is dry and unappealing.
Family favorite now. The only thing I change is purchasing an already prepared chocolate pie crust instead of the Oreo’s & butter.
I have made this a couple of times and it always gets fav reviews….this is always a special request at get togethers and holidays! YUMMY!
This was very easy and very very good. I baked it for 55 minutes. However, I did not check it at all while it was baking, and when I took it out it had large cracks in it. Next time I will pay attention and not bake it quite so long.
I originally got this recipe out of a recipe book and later found out it’s on the bakers package of the chocolate squares. So I decided to search and see if it was on allrecipes, which it is. This recipe is easy! I am having a new years after party at my house and am going to have a lot of guests so I decided to make a this, except I didn’t bake this in a springform pan but in a muffin pan with liners because slicing a large cheesecake is a lot of work and it ruins the presentation. It came out NICE! This recipe came out for exactly 2 muffin pans all I did was pat down a tablespoon of the crumb mixture onto each muffin liner and a large dab of the cheesecake mixture and now I have a serving of 24 instead of 12! What a fabulous dessert! Can’t wait to entertain my guests!
This was the very first cheesecake I ever made. It tasted great! I made for my b/f on Valentines Day. It was very rich and will fill you up.
Just OK. The cake had little texture and an almost childishly simple flavour. Fine to make once, but I certainly won’t make it again
Easy and fabulous! I recommend that you make this the day before serving. The flavors were incredible and yummy the next day for the last two pieces left.
This is so good! The right texture, great flavor…yum!
